Hi Everyone,
I am requesting a renaming of the term
PO:0009002 : cell
to
Plant Cell.
Thus making it more intuitive which also avoids usage of the same term
name in GO and other ontologies, where they refer it as a generic cell.
The suggestion came up while talking to Barry Smith from Univ of
Buffalo. He is one of the leading ontology expert.
If agreed, I also suggest rewording the definition as well.
Current definition:
Structural and physiological unit of a living organism; it (i.e., plant
cell) consists of protoplast and cell wall; in nonliving state, of cell
wall only, or cell wall and some nonliving inclusions.
Suggested definition:
Structural and physiological unit of a plant, it consists of a
protoplasm and cell wall; in non living state, of cell wall only, or
cell wall and some non living inclusions.
