• Label: Fusion of filaments
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0012433
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A floral organ morphology trait [TO:0000862] which is the proportion [PATO:0001470] of the length [PATO:0000122] of the stamen [PO:0009029] (or staminode [PO:0009077]) filaments [PO:0009067] that is fused [NCIT:C124537] together at anthesis [PO:0009068].;Fusion of stamen (and staminode) filaments among each other at anthesis (congenitally or postgenitally) is recorded on a continuous scale, from 0 (free filaments) to 1 (filaments fused along their entire length).
• Additional comments: Partial fusion is recorded using an approximate number between these two extremes (e.g., 0.1 corresponds to basal fusion, 0.5 to fusion along half of the length of filaments). Definition derived from Schoenenberger et al. (2020) for their character '306. Fusion of filaments (C1)'
• units: {dimensionless}
• allowable range: 0 - 1 {dimensionless}
