How does it work? • Some of the ontologies describing the biology. • Gene Ontology (GO) to describe a protein/gene's biochemical property • Molecular Function (e.g. transporter, enzyme) • Role in a Biological Process (e.g. photosynthesis, defense response) • Localization in a Cellular Component (e.g. plastid, cell wall) • Plant Ontology (PO)to describe a protein/gene/phenotype expression • In aPlant Anatomy(e.g. panicle, flower, xylem, phloem) • At aGrowth Stage(e.g. germination, embryo development) • Trait Ontology (TO)to describe the observable feature assayed to determine the phenotype. • Plant traits (e.g. leaf color, plant height, disease resistance) • Environment Ontology (EO) to describe the supplemental treatments and the ecological habitats where a plant sample is subjected to phenotype evaluation (UV light, drought, pests and pathogens)
