Plant ontology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plant ontology (PO) is a set of controlled vocabularies (ontologies), developed by the Plant Ontology Consortium. These ontologies describe plant structures and growth and developmental stages, providing a semantic framework for cross-species queries across databases.
