Growth and development

[J Clark]

Hi Pascale,

The thing is that without the sensu string the two terms 
will have the same name. We have to add the sensu strings to 
differentiate between them.

For the sensu string:
Even with 'sensu Dictyosteliida' the other organism groups 
will still be able to use the term because 'sensu 
Dictyosteliida' just means 'in the sense of Dictyosteliida' 
and so is not restricted to annotation to Dictyosteliida 
gene products.
