An expected use case of plant phenotype ontologies will be the identification of germplasm containing particular traits of interest. If phenotype data from experiments is annotated using ontologies, it makes sense to include annotations to that germplasm source. A lack of standardized data formatting reduces the utility of these data. Standardizing germplasm data, including links to germplasm databases, or distribution locations improves collaboration, and benefits both researchers and the…

The Planteome database: an integrated resource for reference ontologies, plant genomics and phenomics
TLDR
This work provides integrated data on plant traits, phenotypes, and gene function and expression from 95 plant taxa, annotated with reference ontology terms, and provides access to species-specific Crop Ontologies developed by various plant breeding and research communities from around the world.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Recent Work Title The Planteome database : An integrated resource for reference ontologies , plant genomics and phenomics Permalink
The Planteome project (http://www.planteome.org) provides a suite of reference and species-specific ontologies for plants and annotations to genes and phenotypes. Ontologies serve as common standards…
Phenotypic Variation in Leaf Morphology of the USDA, ARS Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) Germplasm Collection
TLDR
The data indicate that there is wide genetic diversity for vegetative phenotypic characteristics within the USDA, ARS sweetpotato germplasm collection and can be used for curation of the collection and by researchers and breeders working with this important global food crop.

A guide to best practices for Gene Ontology (GO) manual annotation
TLDR
This guide represents the best practices for manual annotation as established by the GOC project over the past 12 years and it is hoped this guide will encourage research communities to annotate gene products of their interest to enhance the corpus of GO annotations available to all.
Multifunctional crop trait ontology for breeders' data: field book, annotation, data discovery and semantic enrichment of the literature
TLDR
The ‘Crop Ontology’ database provides a controlled vocabulary for several economically important crops that allows researchers to exploit comparative phenotypic and genotypic information of crops to elucidate functional aspects of traits.
Gene Ontology annotations: what they mean and where they come from
TLDR
The goal is to promote a better understanding of how the results of experiments are captured in annotations, in the hope that this will lead both to better representations of biological reality through annotation and ontology development and to more informed use of GO resources by experimental scientists.
