Hi,
I have some comments on fruit section
-term "legume" is currently a direct instance of fruit. Do you think it
should be placed as an instance of term "seed as dispersal unit", which
is an instance of dehiscent fruit.
-do we need all the instances of (sort of attributes) of capsule, e.g.
loculicidal, septicidal etc. I know the exclusion of "septifragal" will
be difficult because of the following comment. Is there a way out?
-people may like to see "slilique" as a primary term compared to a
synonym for "septifragal"
-a possible TPR violation..
generic term gynoecium appears under floret and this may cause TPR
violation because not all the fruit types develop from "floret
gynoecium" (newly coined term). It's only the "caryopsis" which develops
from gynoecium in the floret. We need a resolution on this.
may be we need to pull back the relationship
fruit develops from gynoecium
One such example is slilique appearing under floret..
