New ontology update is in cvs (anatomy.ontology, rev 1.35 and definition, rev 1.39)

[Katica Ilic]

Hi All,

I've just committted new anatomy ontology files to the cvs.

New revisions
Anatomy.ontology 1.35
Anatomy.definition 1.39

Note: These are both GO flat files. The OBO file will be generated
manually and committed to cvs tomorrow.

The following changes were made:

New structure for the root node, with new terms (shoot borne root, crown
root, prop root, embryonic root, seminal root), and merged terms
(adventitious root merged to shoot borne root, and tap root merged to
primary root)

New  ontology structure :
root
 (i) shoot borne roots (synonym: adventitious)
        (i) nodal root
             (i) crown root
             (i) prop root (syn. brace root)
 (i) embryonic root
        (i) primary root
            (i) radicle
        (i) seminal root
 (i) lateral

DEFINITIONS:

New term: shoot borne root (synonym: adventitious root, stilt root)
PO:0000042
New definition: Post-embryonic root developed from stem.
Note: (PO:0020129) adventitious root is merged to this term, and became
its synonym.

Term: nodal root (PO:0003005)
New definition: Adventitious root that forms at a shoot node.

New term: crown root PO:0000043
Definition: Adventitious root formed at the base of the growing stem
(known as a crown).

New term: prop root (syn. brace root) PO:0000044
New Def: Adventitious root formed at stem nodes above the ground and
growing directly into the soil.
Comment: This term is perhaps best defined functionally: these roots serve
to prop the plant up.

New term: embryonic root PO:0000045
Definition: Root that is initiated in developing embryo.

New term: seminal root PO:0000046
Definition: Root formed at the scutelar node of the embryo in some
monocotyledonous plants.

Best Regards,

Katica
