Agenda
Presentation from John Doonan: High-throughput Phenotyping
- John H Doonan, Professor of Genetics, Director; National Plant Phenomics Centre, Aberystwyth University
- http://www.plant-phenomics.ac.uk/en/who-we-are/staff/john/
- first 30 minutes
- Questions (Time permitting)
Open discussion about High Throughput Phenotyping
- Computer vision-based plant traits and their possible inclusion in the Plant Trait Ontology
Example:
- Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red)
- Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index GNDVI (NIR-Green)/(NIR+Green)
Do these traits actually require novel trait classes in the TO? Or are they simply a different method used to measure existing traits (like Leaf Area Index (TO:0012001), or leaf area duration (TO:0012010)
Traits like plant height are a little more clear, as there doesn't seem to be a difference in the trait, so much as the technology used to make the measurement (they use similar scales, such as millimeters ).
- If you have topics you would like to discuss, please send them my way (meiera@science.oregonstate.edu)
Fruit types in the Plant Ontology
- A number of Fruit types have recently been added to the PO.
- Background: At the Oct. 11, 2016 conference call, we decided to add the various the fruit types to the PO as separate terms. This will improve the coordination between Plant Ontology and the Trait Ontology Oct_11th,_2016_Ontology_Working_Group_Meeting
- The fruit types that are currently listed as synonyms will be added as stand alone terms in the PO.
- Revisions to fruit (PO:0009001) and new child terms for fruit types:
- Current Def’n: fruit (PO:0009001): A multi-tissue plant structure (PO:0025496) which develops from a gynoecium (PO:0009062) and may have as parts one or more seeds (PO:0009010).
- Current Comment: A fruit may contain additional plant structures (PO:0009011) that were part of a flower (PO:0009046) and mature along with the gynoecium, such as a receptacle (PO:0009064). A fruit may develop without fertilization in cases of parthenocarpy, apomixis, or other hormone-induced conditions and may not always contain seeds. Fruits only occur in angiosperms.
- Revised Def’n: fruit (PO:0009001): A multi-tissue plant structure (PO:0025496) which develops from a gynoecium (PO:0009062), or a single carpel (PO:0009030), and may have as parts one or more seeds (PO:0009010).
- Revised Comment: A fruit may contain additional plant structures (PO:0009011) that were part of a flower (PO:0009046) and mature along with the gynoecium, such as a receptacle (PO:0009064). A fruit may develop without fertilization in cases of parthenocarpy, apomixis, or other hormone-induced conditions and may not always contain seeds. When annotating to fruit (PO:0009001) that are referred to as ‘aggregate’, ‘multiple’, or ‘compound’, please annotate directly to the appropriate plant structure, such as receptacle, hypanthium (PO:0009065) or infructescence (PO:0006342). Fruits only occur in angiosperms.
- The main categories of fruits will be (see the associated trackers for each):
- capsule (#642)
- schizocarp (#643)
- samara (#644)
- legume (#645)
- nut (#646)
- drupe (#647)
- caryopsis (#648)
- achene (#651)
- silique (#650)
- follicle (#649)
- berry (#652)
- Thanks so much to @btsinn and @DarioJCavaliere for all the hard work on this!

Biocuration 2017, March 26-29, 2017
- Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, United States
- http://biocuration2017.org
- Call for Workshops:
- Submission deadline: November 11, 2016
- Submission email: biocuration2017@lists.stanford.edu
- Biocuration 2017 will bring together hundreds of leading curation scientists, bioinformaticians, and developers from all over the world to discuss their work, promote collaboration and foster a sense of community in this very active and growing area of research.
- The purpose of a workshop is to provide an opportunity for participants from academia and industry to present and discuss novel ideas on current and emerging topics relevant to biocuration. Workshops are an excellent forum for exploring emerging approaches and task areas, for bridging the gaps between the curation and technology subfields of biocuration, and for critiquing existing approaches. This is a great opportunity to discuss specific topics with so many colleagues and working scientists gathered in the same location.
- For the best opportunity for consideration, proposals should be received by November 11, 2016. Please submit a short paragraph (or two) describing the following:
- Proposed scope and main objective, and their relation to biocuration
- Brief discussion of why the topic is of particular interest at this time
- Suggested format (talks, panel discussion, etc.)
- Potential speakers, panels, or other activities
