A winter annual with a relatively short lifecycle, A. thaliana is a popular model organism in plant biology and genetics. For a complex multicellular eukaryote, A. thaliana has a relatively small genome of …

This page discusses Arabidopsis thaliana, a key model organism in plant biology, similar to Drosophila in animal studies. It features a compact genome, rapid development, and is easily manipulated …

Arabidopsis thaliana could have easily escaped human scrutiny. Instead, Arabidopsis has become the most widely studied plant in modern biology despite its absence from the dinner table.

Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced (in 2000), and is widely used in molecular and developmental biology as the archetypal angiosperm (flowering plant) model …

Mouse-ear thale-cress is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, and invasive over much of North America. This species is the most studied plant in the world in part because its genome has been …

A. thaliana is a dicotyledonous, annual plant that follows either a winter annual (germinate in fall, overwinter as a rosette, flower in early spring) or spring annual (overwinter as seeds, germinate and …

The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) maintains a database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

Nov 5, 2020 · Arabidopsis thaliana is the most widely used model organism in plant biology.

Although A. thaliana has little direct significance for agriculture, it has several traits that make it a useful model for understanding the genetic, cellular, and molecular biology of flowering plants.

Arabidopsis thaliana is a powerful model for the study of growth and development processes in plants. It is a small plant that has a short generation time (∼6 weeks), and grows well under laboratory …
