Descriptor-Descriptor mapping
Genesys has a large database of descriptor definitions and many of them refer to the same trait, but are categorized under a different crop or there are slight differences in the description, but not the meaning.
For example, we have 64 published "Plant height" descriptors. Similar descriptors can be linked/combined to form a "super descriptor". A super descriptor may be crop-specific. Individual descriptors are linked to the super descriptor and each of their terms
is associated with one term in the super descriptor.
#579 (closed) helps in finding similar Descriptor
s and is instrumental for building the database of SuperDescriptor
s.

Each term of a descriptor is mapped to exactly one term in the super descriptor. The super has terms that are more broadly defined and applicable to many crops:
Super | D1 | D2 | D3 | D4 |

Absent | Eye absent | COLORLESS | ||
Brown | Brown splash or grey, Tan brown | Brown | Brown | |
