Feedback on POC

[katica at acoma.Stanford.EDU]

Dear Juliette,

Plant Structure Developmental Stages aspect of the PO has "root 
development stages" node, in which the stages are described based on 
succession of morphological/anatomical landmarks that are 
observable during root development.

I hope you would agree with me that 'x days post-germination' is not a 
stage of root development, as it is not a stage of seedling development 
either.

The best you can do is to 'convert' your staging system based on days 
after germination to the existing PO terms, based on the progression of 
root development at a particular day after germination that you picked as 
'stage'.

Hope this helps,

Katica
