Hi, Rosaceae community,
I have a question regarding to the fruit structure terminology which
are used in GDR database "genebank apple cDNA library" (http://
www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/projects/malus/unigeneV3/
malus_librarySummary.shtml).
Please help me to define or clarify the following terms, I will add
them either as new ontology terms or synonyms to the existing plant
ontology based on your answers
fruit cortex -> is it the same as flesh or mesocarp? are these three
terms used interchangeable?
fruit core -> is this the tissue in the center of the fruit as seen
in http://www.uq.edu.au/_School_Science_Lessons/5.6FruitPome.GIF?
does it include seeds? what's the definition?
Currently Plant Ontology database has "fruit placenta: a more or less
localized region within a fruit to which seeds are attached", can
"fruit placenta" be a synonym to "fruit core"?
Your opinion and comments are sincerely appreciated!
Thank you,

Dear Dr Sook Jung,
This is Gholamreza Rabiei -PhD student- at the University of New England
(Australia). I would like to attend the 4th International Rosaceae Genomics
Conference, but couldn't find any information on how to register and costs
involved. Unfortunately the web page for the conference is not working
(http://www.rgc4.cl/apache2-default).
It is greatly appreciated if you could kindly provide me with some
information in this regard.
Best regards,
Gholamreza Rabiei
