#6 synonym: "disease resistance trait" (TO:0000112)
Forom a user:
> 1. The trait "disease resistance trait" (TO:0000112) has as synonyms "disease tolerance" and "disease susceptibility". The latter is clearly in error (susceptibility is the opposite of resistance), and we propose it be deleted as a synonym. In addition, we would ask to add as a synonym "disease control".
-----------
Pankaj: Ideally the trait term be called 'response to disease' and then attached to it are evaluation/phenotype scales namely'
susceptibile and tolerant. Because the trait can be scored for any of the above two values or an intermediated forms like moderately susceptibile, moderately tolerant etc.
Since there was is mechanism in teh TO so far to add the scored values we thought of adding the synonyms so that users are able to find the terms easily and their associations. Clearly more work is required. I will look into it.
I will add the synonym "disease control".
