Apr 1, 2018 · The Utility of Arabidopsis as a Model Organism. Arabidopsis research is fast, cheap, and convenient. Arabidopsis plants can develop from a seed to a plant bearing mature seeds in as few as 6 weeks, depending on growth conditions . They can grow indoors under feeble fluorescent lighting that is easy to achieve in the laboratory but inadequate ...

Mar 10, 2010 · Introduction. Of all the known species of flowering plants, Arabidopsis thaliana stands alone as the most thoroughly studied. Measured by the total number of journal publications, other plants such as maize, soybean, petunia, tomato, pea, and snapdragon, once considered as promising candidates to guide plant research into the future, all lag far behind.

May 14, 2022 · Arabidopsis is an angiosperm, a dicot from the mustard family (Brassicaceae). It is popularly known as thale cress or mouse-ear cress. While it has no commercial value - in fact is considered a weed - it has proved to be an ideal organism for studying plant development. Figure 19.1.6.1: Arabidopsis Thaliana.
Twenty-five years ago, Arabidopsis thaliana emerged as the model organism of choice for research in plant biology. A consensus was reached about the need to focus on a single organism to integrate the classical disciplines of plant science with the expanding fields of genetics and molecular biology. Ten years after publication of its genome ...

Arabidopsis thaliana has several features that make it an ideal model organism for plant research: Ø Small Size: Arabidopsis plants are tiny, which means they don’t require much space to grow. This is perfect for lab environments where space can be limited. Ø Short Life Cycle: From seed to seed, Arabidopsis completes its life cycle in about ...
Nov 1, 2002 · During the past 20 years, the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana has been adopted as a model organism by thousands of biologists. This community has developed important tools, resources and ...
