Plant phenotype comparisons enable us to explore the relationship between gene function, sequence similarity and consequently to ma ke predictions for crop improvements. Plant phenotypes are described primarily using free text and are inconsistent between species, making computer facilitated queries difficult; however, asse ssing this data manually is impossible due to the ever increasing plethora of available phenotype data. To address this issue, we undertook a pilot project to formalize phenotype descriptors for six plant species, focusing on mutant phenotypes associated with sequenced genes. To do this, we selected free text descriptions of 1742 unique phenotypes for 2741 genes from maize, rice, Arabidopsis, soybean, tomato, and Medicago and manually converted them into a common Entity-Quality format using taxonomically broad ontologies; e.g., the Plant Ontology and the Gene Ontology. The power of this method lies in the fact that hierarchical ont ologies allow even distantly related phenotypes to be identified computationally. Similarity scores were calculated for each pair of phenotypes and the resulting associations were loaded into a database and query tool called PhenomeNet (http://phenomebrowser.net/plant/ query.php). PhenomeNet enables researchers to query these associations with locus names, gene identifiers, and phenotypic descriptions. To the user, this is roughly similar to using BLAST to identify si milar sequences. Although the phenotype dataset must be greatly expanded to be a useful research tool, our work demonstrates that comparing phenotypes among divergent plant species can be automated.
