Formal description of plant phenotypes and standardized annotation of gene expression and protein localization data require
uniform terminology that accurately describes plant anatomy and morphology. This facilitates cross species comparative
studies and quantitative comparison of phenotypes and expression patterns. A major drawback is variable terminology that is
used to describe...

Plant growth stages are identified as distinct morphological landmarks in a continuous developmental process. The terms
describing these developmental stages record the morphological appearance of the plant at a specific point in its life cycle. The
widely differing morphology of plant species consequently gave rise to heterogeneous vocabularies describing growth...

The Plant Ontology Consortium (POC, http://www.plantontology.org) is a collaborative effort
among model plant genome databases and plant
researchers that aims to create, maintain and
facilitate the use of a controlled vocabulary
(ontology) for plants. The ontology allows users to
ascribe attributes of plant structure (anatomy and
morphology) and developmental stages...
