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: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14taS42nD6tucMIWAe2MrQLlAx_HAskuLp9TevsSOKFU/edit?usp=sharing

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