Goals and Objectives:

1. Develop a set of common reference ontologies to describe major knowledge domains of plant biology, comprising plant phenotype and traits, environments, and biotic and abiotic stresses, including plant diseases.

The project will provide a suite of reference and interoperable ontologies (Figure-1) relevant to the knowledge domain of plant biology required for annotating and describing the experiments, data sets, tagging published papers, and images.

These ontologies include the Plant Ontology (PO); Trait Ontology (TO), Environment Ontology (EO) and Plant Stress Ontology (PSO) to be developed by the cROP project and will associate them to the existing reference ontologies for relevant knowledge domains (Figure-1 Table-1) being developed and funded by other resources.

The Planteome project will also contribute to and enhance the existing reference ontologies, developed and maintained by the proposal partners. A network of national and international collaborators, representing major plant genomics resources, large-scale phenotype and genome annotation projects (Appendix-A3), will apply the set of reference ontologies to empower researchers to build their hypotheses, query, discover and analyze the plant genomics and genetics data sets.

  • Plant Trait Ontology (TO)
  • Plant Environment Ontology (EO)
  • Plant Ontology (PO)
  • Plant Stress Ontology (PSO)
  • Coordination with the Phenotypic Qualities Ontology (PATO)
  • Building references with the Crop Ontology (CO) as a resource of concepts for cROP

2. Develop standards, workflows and tools for ontology development, curation and improved annotation of genes, genomes, phenotype and germplasm.

2.1 Collaborative approaches on ontology development and annotation:

  • Transition to OWL Format
  • Introduction of Elk reasoner and Continuous Integration (CI) system
  • Development of TermGenie tool for TO and PO
  • Use of Inferred graph completion

2.2 Improving ontology-based annotations for plant genomes and develop quality assessment matrix:

GOstruct method

2.3 Annotating orphan plant genomes and maintaining reference genome annotations.
