Citing POC How to cite POC in your article.

Developers style guide Key concepts and stylistic aspects of PO.

Principles and rationales of PO

Key organizing principles and rules of Plant Structure Ontology. Rationale for high nodes in the ontology, examples and explanation of three "patterns" of the ontology structure.

Key organizing principles and rules of Growth Stages Ontology. Frequently asked questions for the Growth Stages Ontology.

Key organizing principles and rules of Developmental Stages Ontology.

Ontology Accessions Guide to unique accessions/ids associated to each PO term.

DBXrefs Provides a list of the database cross reference abbreviations used in the ontology files and the database.

Ontology file formats There are two types of ontology flat file format, the older GO flat file format and the newer OBO flat file format. The GO flat file format is now deprecated but will continue to be provided alongside the new OBO format.

Annotation file formats If your database/project would like to submit the annotations to the PO database, please consult the suggested file format.

Release notes Find the most recent information on the database and website changes by visiting the release notes page.

Evidence codes Describes the various evidence codes explaining how they are used for annotation of genes/gene products/phenotypes.

SVN repository The SVN repository lists all the ontology and definition files.
