PAO

Plant Anatomy Ontology

REPLACED BY: Plant Ontology (PO). A controlled vocabulary of plant morphological and anatomical structures representing organs, tissues, cell types, and their biological relationships based on spatial and developmental organization. Note that this has been subsumed into the PO. This file is created by filtering plant_ontology_assert.obo to contain only terms from the plant anatomical entity branch of the PO. For more information, please see: http://palea.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/viewsvn/Poc/tags/live/
