Hello A warnging appears when I make a Txdb using GenomicFeaures

I am sorry I can not find the gtf download link for Araport11

Welcome to Araport.org. Funding of project has been discontinued so teams from The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR), and the Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology (BAR) have taken over its operation and have refreshed/expanded the functionalities that were available at Araport as in the table below.

But the GFF download link is TAIR_download

library(GenomicFeatures)
Tx_At <- makeTxDbFromGFF("~/reference/annoation/Athaliana/Araport11/Araport11_GFF3_genes_transposons.201606.gtf",
                         chrominfo = Seqinfo(seqnames = paste0("Chr",c(1:5,"C","M")),
                                             seqlengths = c(30427671,19698289,23459830,18585056,26975502,154478,366924)))

Import genomic features from the file as a GRanges object ... OK
Prepare the 'metadata' data frame ... OK
Make the TxDb object ... OK
Warning messages:
1: In .get_cds_IDX(mcols0$type, mcols0$phase) :
  The "phase" metadata column contains non-NA values for features of
  type stop_codon, exon. This information was ignored.
2: In .reject_transcripts(bad_tx, because) :
  The following transcripts were rejected because they have stop
  codons that cannot be mapped to an exon: AT1G07320.4, AT1G18180.2,
  AT1G30230.1, AT1G36380.1, AT1G52415.1, AT1G52940.1, AT2G18110.1,
  AT2G35130.1, AT2G35130.3, AT2G39050.1, AT3G13445.1, AT3G17660.1,

  AT5G45240.2

And it can make the Txdb lose 6 genes compared with my featureCounts result

I have checked these 6 genes. And these genes are indeed the ones in the warning report

I also check one of genes structure in GTF

Chr3    Araport11       5UTR    20244284        20244567        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       exon    20244284        20245202        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       start_codon     20244568        20244570        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       CDS     20244568        20245202        .       +       0       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       stop_codon      20245687        20245689        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       CDS     20245689        20245689        .       +       1       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       exon    20245689        20246080        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";
Chr3    Araport11       3UTR    20245690        20246080        .       +       .       transcript_id "AT3G54680.1"; gene_id "AT3G54680";

So I am wondering whether I can maintain 6 genes when make Txdb from GTF

I also find a assoc question in warning message from makeTxDbFromGFF in GenomicFeatures package
