Sometimes, sets of organisms that a GO term should apply to do not fit neatly in a NCBI taxonomy superclass. GO has created "union classes" to apply in these situations. For example, the union class 'Bacteria or Archaea or Viridiplantae or Euglenozoa' captures the set of organisms that carry out photosynthesis (in any form). These classes can be narrowed further if needed by additional taxon constraints- [GO:0009760 C4 photosynthesis](https://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo/term/GO:0009760) is restricted to only [Viridiplantae](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=33090).

## Finding taxon constraints
Taxon constraints are included with every [GO release](https://release.geneontology.org/){:target="blank"}: /ontology/imports/go_taxon_constraints.owl. Taxon constraints are also included in ontology files (except go-basic.obo) and may appear as `property_value: RO:0002161 NCBITaxon:40674`.
Taxon constraints are included with every [GO release](https://release.geneontology.org/){:target="blank"}: /ontology/imports/go_taxon_constraints.owl. Taxon constraints are also included in ontology files (except go-basic.obo) and may appear as `property_value: RO:0002161 NCBITaxon:40674`. As of September 2024, every GO term that has a taxon constraint (asserted or inferred) will have the taxon constraint directly related in the released ontology. For example, 'GO:0035213 clypeo-labral disc development’ inherits ‘in_taxon Insecta’ from 'GO:0007444 imaginal disc development’; this taxon constraint is now on both terms, rather than just the parent term as in 2024-06-17 and and older releases.

## Suggest or remove taxon constraints
Improvements can be suggested on the [GitHub go-ontology repository](https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/new?assignees=&labels=taxon+constraints&template=taxon-constraint-request.md&title=Taxon+constraint%3A+){:target="blank"}.
