new terms / synonyms for citrus terms

Tue Jun 6 02:51:42 EDT 2006

Hello,

Am not quite convinced that Albedo is a synonym of Endocarp.... I think
that 'Albedo' is related to MESOCARP (white tissue of rind of citrus)
while ENDOCARP is related to the pulp.

	Hi,

	In the just concluded POC workshop at Cornell, certain term
requirements
	came in from Citrus functional genomics project.

	The following plant structures that need either a new term or
added as
	synonyms are.

	Albedo.
	        Definition: White, spongy inner part of citrus fruit
rind.

	        comment: IS THIS SAME AS ENDOCARP if so we can add as
synonym.

OK, or endocarp is strictly applied to the inner epidermis of the fruit
wall.

	Flavedo.
	        Definition: Outer part of the rind of citrus fruit,
bearing oil
	         glands and pigments.
	        comment: IS THIS SAME AS EXOCARP if so we can add as
synonym..

OK, or exocarp is strictly applied to the outer epidermis of the fruit
wall.

	Rind
	        Definition: The outer covering of certain fruit; also
referred
	         to as peel or  skin
	        comment: IS THIS SAME AS PERICARP if so we can add as
synonym..

This would have to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. The rind of a
citrus = pericarp, but there is also another definition which means "the
tough outer wall of a fruit you have to cut off to get to the innards".

P.

	Juice sac
	        Definition ??
