What is Plant Ontology?
• An arrangement of controlled vocabularies that describe:
– Plant Anatomy and Morphological features
– Growth and Developmental Stages
• Based on internationally published/accepted terminology and
their definitions
A tool for annotation of plant phenotypes
and gene expression patterns across all
plant species

POC homepage: www.plantontology.org
Basic Goals of Plant Ontology:
• Encompass all plants: include terms and annotations from nonflowering plants: Gymnosperms, lycopods, ferns and mosses
• Create mappings to other ontologies such as PATO, CARO CL
and GO
• Logical (genus-differentia) definitions, follow OBO principles
• is_a completeness
• Be a tool for comparative genomics across plant taxa

Plant Cell terms

Mirrors organization of Plant Structure:
•Sporophytic cell- e.g. embryonic cell
•Gametophytic cell- e.g. megagametophytic cell
•Whole plant cell - can occur in a gametophyte or
sporophyte, e.g. axial cell
Plant Stem Cells in the PO:
High Resolution Analysis of Gene Expression
in Shoot and Root Stem Cells
The plant hormone,
auxin shifts from the
apical half to
concentrate at the basal
pole of the embryo
Activation of
genes during
cell
differentiation
Root meristem
(Stahl and Simon, Int. J. Dev. Biol. 2005)
Cell types of the root meristem

Gene Expression Map of the Arabidopsis
Shoot Apical Meristem
5 regions of Shoot Apical Meristems:
-Central zone narrow (CZ) (red) and broad (green)
-Rib meristem (RM) (blue)
-Peripheral zone (PZ) (cyan)
- L1 layer (black).
Hierarchical clustering

differentially expressed
genes within the SAM

GO Enrichment
(E) Relative percentage of selected Gene Ontology (GO) groups identified in different DEG sectors.
Note the number above each column represents a sum of total number of genes detected for a particular
GO term in various sectors.

PO Highlights 2010:
-Reorganization of PO terms to encompass nonflowering plants - ongoing
- Annotations of gene products and phenotypes in
a wider variety of plant species- ASPB, BSA
workshops this summer- Phenote
- Integrate data from current studies on new model
plants, for example:
- genome annotations
- microarray data sets
- high quality Next-Generation expression
datasets
Suggestions for Interaction with Cell
Type Ontology:
- Terms unique to the PO could retain the PO ID
- Annotations of those terms could be handled by the
PO curators
- Terms shared by the PO and other ontologies
represented in the CL could list the PO ID as an
alternate ID, for example: zygote, gamete, epidermal
cell
- Unique upper level terms with common lower level
children- mirroring of sites?
- Similar structures and organization?
