Hi,
I am working on some terms in the gene ontology consortium process
ontology. They are the two terms pasted below and I am wondering whether
they ought to have parentage under 'response to hormone' and if so then
which hormone? Is there anybody out there who has expert knowledge of
these two processes and who could tell me which hormones cause these two
processes to occur? I am having trouble finding a paper with this
information.
Thanks,
Jennifer Clark
