shoot system development stages and child terms
We are deficient in terms to describe the stages of development of the shoot system (PO:0009006).
We currently have collective plant organ structure development stage (PO:0025338) with two direct child terms: flower development stage (PO:0007615) and inflorescence development stage (PO:0001083).
I suggest we should have shoot system development stage (new PO id): A plant structure development stage (PO:0009012) that has as primary participant a shoot system (PO:0009006).
Then we could add: bud development stage (new PO id): A shoot system development stage (new PO id) that has as primary participant a bud (PO:0009006).
And then.... we can make a term for bud dormancy stage, which we need for annotating the grape data set.
bud dormancy stage (new PO id): proposed def'n: A bud development stage (new PO id) during which a bud (PO:0009006) participates in a bud dormancy process (GO:0097207).
there is an existing GO: bud dormancy process GO:0097207
Definition A dormancy process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken in a bud. Bud dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated. It may be a response to environmental conditions such as seasonality or extreme heat, drought, or cold. The exit from bud dormancy is marked by the resumed growth of the bud. Source: GOC:PO_curators, PO_REF:00009 Comment Bud dormancy may precede dormancy of the whole plant.
