I suggest renaming the term shoot internode (PO:0005005) to internode, because all internodes occur in the shoot system, making shoot internode redundant and easily confused with stem internode.
Proposed def: A region of a shoot system that is part of a shoot axis between two nodes.
Part_of shoot axis instead of shoot system.
Children:
-inflorescence internode (PO:0006326): An internode that is part of an inflorescence axis. (EXISTING TERM)
-stem internode (PO:0020142): An internode that is part of a stem. (EXISTING TERM)
-branch internode (PO:0025080): An internode that is part of a branch. (NEW TERM)
- rhizome internode (PO:0025204): A shoot axis internode that is part of a rhizome.
Since the name shoot internode has been in use, and no one has had trouble with it, we will keep it (see discussion under node).
ok
This definition was accepted at the POC meeting on 7-21-10, with minor changes for clarity: Shoot internode: A cardinal organ part of a shoot axis between two nodes of the axis.
I am closing this item.
Propose renaming shoot internode (PO:0005005) to shoot axis internode, to better match revised shoot axis node term.
