With reference to above URL,  loosk like there are a couple of issues with the terms that have 'bud' as part of the term name.

Various children of
PO:0004709 : axillary bud
PO:0004713 : terminal bud
should have IS_A relationship instead of the PART_OF.

The following children terms must have PART_OF relationships to other parent terms like inflorescence and shoot apex. e.g. terminal floral bud PART_OF inflorescence, terminal inflorescence bud PART_OF stem / PART_OF shootapex, etc.
# PO:0004714 : terminal floral bud
# PO:0004715 : terminal inflorescence bud
# PO:0004716 : terminal vegetative bud
# PO:0004710 : axillary floral bud
# PO:0004711 : axillary inflorescence bud
# PO:0004712 : axillary vegetative bud

Also we need a new generic term 'BUD' so that both the following can become instances of it.
PO:0004709 : axillary bud
PO:0004713 : terminal bud

The suggested definition of the 'bud' :

It is an undeveloped shoot that may develop vegetative or reproductive shoot parts and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem. Depending on the environmental and physiological conditions a bud may remain in a dormant condition for some time or it may form a shoot immediately.
