Hi Everyone,

I have a question on flower development in Monocots. The reason I am 
asking this is because I am working with Gene Ontology group 
(www.geneontology.org) to introduce the biological process that 
represent a flower development. While doing this we need to instantiate 
whether,

-It is possible to do most of the gene expression and phenotype 
annotation using a generic term or do we need a monocot and dicot 
specific term?.
-Is there a conceptual difference between the development of a monocot 
and dicot flower and its parts? e.g. is there a difference between a 
monocot and dicot anther/carpel/petal/sepal/tepal development.


Thanks
Pankaj
