Agenda

Revisions to inflorescence branch terms & axis terms

• Proposal that inflorescence branch (PO:0009081) be renamed higher order inflorescence axis, and that each order of inflorescence branch be renamed using its corresponding inflorescence axis exact synonym; for example, third order inflorescence branch would be renamed its current synonym, fourth order inflorescence axis.
• Link to google doc: PO Inflorescence Axis Terminology Revision
• Link to history of these terms on GitHub: #264
• Link to new tracker: #667

inflorescence axis (PO:0020122)

• Current def'n: A shoot axis (PO:0025029) that is part of an inflorescence (PO:0009049).
• Revised def’n: No revisions
• Current comment: None
• Current synonyms: eje de la inflorescencia (Spanish, exact), 花序軸 (Japanese, exact), first order inflorescence branch (related), inflorescence rachis (related)
• Revised synonyms: eje de la inflorescencia (Spanish, exact), 花序軸 (Japanese, related), inflorescence branch (related), inflorescence rachis (related)
• Revised comment: An inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) has either a determinate apex, which terminates in a flower (PO:0009046), or has an indeterminate apex, which terminates in an inflorescence apical meristem (PO:0009108). Flower pedicel (PO:0009052) serves as the simplest example of a determinate inflorescence axis.

• Propose revised Comment: An inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) has either a determinate apex, which terminates in a flower meristem (PO:0000229), or has an indeterminate apex, which terminates in an inflorescence apical meristem (PO:0009108).

A flower pedicel (PO:0009052) is the simplest example of a determinate inflorescence axis.

• PJ: Do we have the relationship 'flower' develops_from 'flower meristem'? Yes, but it is not visible on the browser, except in the neighborhood tab: develops_from (RO:0002202).
• Need to add: 'inflorescence' develops_from 'inflorescence meristem'

first order inflorescence axis (PO:0025104)

• Current def'n: An inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) that is the primary or main axis of an inflorescence (PO:0009049).
• Revised def'n: No revisions.
• Current comment: A first order inflorescence axis consists of either a peduncle alone or a peduncle plus its continuation, depending on the form of the inflorescence.
• Revised comment: Monopodial inflorescences, such as a raceme, have a centrally-located main axis; this axis is a first order inflorescence axis. In contrast, sympodial inflorescences, such as the riphidium, do not have a centrally-located main axis. The basal-most portion of a first order inflorescence axis is referred to as a peduncle (PO:0009053).

• Current synonyms: inflorescence rachis (exact), inflorescence rhachis (exact), primary inflorescence axis (exact), primer orden del eje de la inflorescencia (Spanish, exact), 第一花序軸 (Japanese, exact), ray (broad)

• Revised synonyms: inflorescence rachis (exact), inflorescence rhachis (exact), primary inflorescence axis (exact), primer orden del eje de la inflorescencia (Spanish, exact), 第一花序軸 (Japanese, related)

higher order inflorescence axis (PO:0009081)

• Renaming of: inflorescence branch (PO:0009081)
• Current def'n: An inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) that is a branch (PO:0009081) arising from a first order inflorescence axis (PO:0025104) or from a higher order inflorescence branch.
• Revised def'n: An inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) that develops from an inflorescence axillary meristem (PO:0009105) of an inflorescence axis (PO:0020122).

• Current comment: None.
• Revised comment: A higher order inflorescence axis is any inflorescence axis (PO:0020122) that develops from another inflorescence axis (PO:0020122), and is named according to its position in an inflorescence (PO:0009049). Tenth order inflorescence axis (PO:0025111) is the greatest specific inflorescence axis order in the PO; when mapping annotations to inflorescence axes which are of an order greater than ten, or when order is ambiguous or unknown, annotate directly to higher order inflorescence axis.

• Current synonyms: conflorescencia (Spanish, exact), paraclade (exact), paraclado (Spanish, exact), 花序枝 (Japanese, exact), coflorescence (related)
• Revised Synonyms: conflorescencia (Spanish, broad), 花序枝 (Japanese, related), inflorescence branch (exact), paraclade (broad), paraclado (Spanish, broad), coflorescence (related)

second order inflorescence axis (was: primary inflorescence branch) (PO:0006321)

• Current def'n: An inflorescence branch (PO:0009081) arising from a first order inflorescence axis (PO:0025104).
  • Revised def'n: A higher order inflorescence axis (PO:0009081) that develops from an inflorescence axillary meristem (PO:0009105) of a first order inflorescence axis (PO:0025104).
• Comment: None
  • Revised comment: No revisions
• Current synonyms: first order inflorescence branch (exact), first order paraclade (exact), rama de la inflorescencia principal (Spanish, exact), second order inflorescence axis (exact), 第一（主）花序分枝 (Japanese, exact)
  • Revised synonyms: primary inflorescence branch (exact), first order inflorescence branch (exact), eje de segundo orden de la inflorescencia (Spanish, exact), 第一（主）花序分枝 (Japanese, related)
