Changes to decreased horsetail movement (FYPO:0004605)
The current definition of this term is:
A cellular process phenotype in which the occurrence of horsetail movement is decreased. Horsetail movement is the oscillatory movement of the nucleus that takes place during meiotic prophase I.
Initially I thought this would be a similar case of yes/no phenotype (abolished horsetail with a certain penetrance). It's not the case, but I think some clarifications could be made.
The term makes sense for PMID:24954111, where they measured the total length travelled by the SPB during horsetail movement. This is an interesting phenotype because it can be that in a mutant that has abnormal horsetail nucleus due to detached telomeres, the SPB still travels the same distance. See Fig. B below.
Proposed change of the definition and term name
decreased distance travelled by the spindle pole body during horsetail movement
A cellular process phenotype in which the total distance travelled by the SPB during horsetail movement is decreased. Horsetail movement is the oscillatory movement of the nucleus that takes place during meiotic prophase I.
Phenotypes I believe are wrongly annotated to this term
I think for other citations would be better annotated to something else:
PMID:9572142
lot2-s17: They don't measure the extent of the movement, but they report abnormal morphology and failure in attachment of telomeres to the SPB, so we can probably move the annotation to abnormal horsetail nucleus morphology (FYPO:0002890).
taz1-uv3 (A606V aa) same
PMID:16585273
mcp5ΔC (deltaC)[Overexpression] seems to be abolished horsetail, so should be moved to abolished horsetail movement.
PMID:17632059
taz1-uv3 and double deletion: seems to be abnormal nuclear morphology during horsetail as well.
Next steps if you agree
[x] Update term name and definition
[x] Reassign the annotations listed above (I can do this)
