Revisions to the upper-level categories of the biochemical trait TO:0000277 branch of the TO:

Current structure of the branch:

Goals: Align and define each of the biochemical-related trait classes to either GO or ChEBI classes.


Top level term: biochemical trait TO:0000277

biochemical trait TO:0000277

  • Current def’n: The traits associated with assay of either of the effected metabolite profile, enzymatic activity and biological processes which includes the physiological processes.
  • propose revised def’n: A plant trait (TO:0000387) which is a quality of a molecular function (GO:0003674), a plant metabolite (CHEBI:76924), or a chemical entity (CHEBI:24431), that is part of, or has participant a cellular component (GO:0005575), plant anatomical entity (PO:0025131) and/or a plant structure development stage (PO:0009012).

Note: this def’n is based on the biological process (GO:0008150) terms moving to a new branch of their own.

  • This will define the scope of the branch

biological process related trait (TO:0000283)

Current def’n: The trait associated with assay to determine the affected biological process. Source: GR:pj

Propose it would be better to be split out into a separate branch, rather than being in the "Biochemical traits" branch:

Link to tracker: “Move biological process related trait (TO:0000283) and relevant subclasses out of the biochemical trait (TO:0000277) branch” https://github.com/Planteome/plant-trait-ontology/issues/378

  • GO definition:
    • biological process (GO:0008150): Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
  • All the terms in this branch should reference the associated GO BP term.
