NTRs: presence or absence of galls

[CuzickA]

For https://github.com/PHI-base/curation/issues/103

I have found 'plant gall' in BTO

From this definition it would appear that a gall is an abnormal growth within the host in the presence of a pathogen. (Rather than being defined as of comprising both pathogen and host organism tissue as we suggested in https://github.com/PHI-base/curation/issues/103).

Therefore, maybe these new terms could be grouped under 'abnormal host morphology during pathogen invasion'

[CuzickA]

Preferred term label

host gall present during pathogen invasion (or maybe 'presence of host gall during pathogen invasion'?)

Synonyms

Textual definition

A pathogen host interaction phenotype where the presence of a pathogen (or symbiont) has resulted in the abnormal growth of the host tissue, forming a plant gall (BTO:0005833 Plant gall).

Suggested parent term

abnormal host morphology during pathogen invasion

@smvelasquez and @ValWood, do you have any comments to add for these new gall terms for curating

PMID:25888589 A Secreted Effector Protein of Ustilago maydis Guides Maize Leaf Cells to Form Tumors.

This gall term would replace the 'presence of pathogen asexual sporulation structures within host lesion' annotation
