plant environment (EO:0007359): Top parent term

[cmungall]

This term needs to be revised and renamed

Current definition: plant environment ontology (EO:0007359): A set of standardized controlled vocabularies to describe various types of treatments given to an individual plant / a population or a cultured tissue and/or cell type sample to evaluate the response on its exposure. It also includes the study types, where the terms can be used to identify the growth study facility. Each growth facility such as field study, growth chamber, green house etc is a environment on its own it may also involve instances of biotic and abiotic environments as supplemental treatments used in these studies.

Proposed revised name: plant environment Proposed revised definition: plant environment: Plant growing conditions, study types and/or treatments.

Proposed new comment: These conditions can apply to a whole plant (PO:0000003), a plant population and/or a cultured plant cell (PO:0000005). Each growth facility such as field study, growth chamber, green house etc is a environment on its own, it may also involve instances of biotic and abiotic environments as supplemental treatments used in these studies.

Proposed revised name and def'n:

plant environment (EO:0007359): A plant treatment, growing condition, and/or study type applied to a whole plant (PO:0000003), a plant structure (PO:00090119), and/or a plant population to evaluate the plant response.

Revised comment: The Plant Environment Ontology describes the treatments, growing conditions, and/or study types used in various types of plant biology experiments. The subjects of the studies may also include in vitro plant structures (PO: PO:0000004). A plant treatment is the most specific, and may be a component of a plant growing condition, and the plant study type. The broadest classes are the plant study types where the terms can be used to identify the growth study facility. Each growth facility such as field study, growth chamber, green house etc is a environment on its own and it may also involve instances of biotic and abiotic treatments and different growing conditions.

Slightly revised the definition to include growth environment rather than growing conditons: A plant treatment, growth environment, and/or study type applied to a whole plant (PO:0000003), a plant structure (PO:00090119), and/or a plant population to evaluate the plant response.

Propose revised name of the ontology and the top level term: Plant Experimental Conditions Ontology (PECO). revised name and definition to top level term: was 'plant environment'

plant experimental condition (EO:0007359)- A plant treatment (EO:0001001) and/or study type (EO:0007231) applied to a whole plant (PO:0000003), a plant structure (PO:00090119), and/or a plant population as part of an experiment to evaluate the plant response.
