A. thaliana, also known as rockcress or thale cress, is a small plant with white flowers, often considered to be a weed where it is found across Europe, Asia and Africa. However, in plant genetic research it is seen in a much more favourable light, being a very popular model organism for plant studies. A. thaliana is easy to look after compared ...

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.

Feb 27, 2024 · Arabidopsis thaliana is currently the most-studied plant species on earth, with an unprecedented number of genetic, genomic, and molecular resources having been generated in this plant model. In the era of translating foundational discoveries to crops and beyond, we aimed to highlight the utility and challenges of using Arabidopsis as a reference for applied plant biology research ...
Abstract. Arabidopsis thaliana, a small, flowering, self-pollinating weed, has been developed into an elegant model system. Concerted effort from the plant research community has led to development of extensive genomic resources, tools, and techniques. Advances in high-throughput (omics-based) approaches and their application in Arabidopsis ...

Apr 1, 2018 · Abstract. 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. Pairing diminutive stature and genome with prodigious resources and tools, Arabidopsis offers a window into the molecular, cellular, and developmental ...

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 ...
