<FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Working with Leszek, I have not been able to find terms that describe the branches and the main axes, aka axile, of roots. To adequately annotate root architecture QTL for reported traits to do with branching, it would be helpful to add terms:<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>primary root branch<BR>
lateral root branch<BR>
adventitious root branch<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><BR>
If we add those terms we should consider changing the current ones, eg primary root, to a term specifying the main axes, or preferred I would think, have an additional term for the axile:<BR>
eg primary root<BR>
primary root axile<BR>
primary root branch<BR>
<BR>
What do you think?<BR>
