Pulvinus is generally a thickened structure of a stem or leaf that is often involved in movement. </SPAN></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>There probably needs to be a general term (pulvinus - is_a plant structure) with a couple of children - pulvinus of petiole (found in many legumes, among others), and pulvinus of inflorescence branch (found in many grasses). I think it probably should not be part of node, since it's not clear what it's a part of. Bob Schmidt has isolated some inflorescence mutations that lack the pulvinus, and they are just trying to characterize the pulvinus and those mutants in particular.<BR>

You might wish also to look also at the discussions in our archives which I found by Google.<BR>

Hi Mary,<BR>
<BR>
I didn't see "pulvinus" in the current PO. I just set up a request for this term in </SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><FONT FACE="Helvetica, Verdana, Arial">the SourceForge's PO tracker, so we can have opinions from other experts. <BR>

Looking to link the legacy MaizeGDB anatomy terms <I>not yet used for annotation</I> at MaizeGDB, to an accession in PO I need some help with 'pulvinus'. Is it simply part of the node?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Discussion about Dec 2004 indicated this was part of ‘node’ - do you know if that is considered appropriate for now? If so, should we add pulvinus in the definition or comment part of the term?<BR>
