Arabidopsis thaliana is a model organism used to determine specific defense mechanisms of plant-pathogen resistance. [100] These plants have special receptors on their cell surfaces that allow for detection of pathogens and initiate mechanisms to inhibit pathogen growth. [100]
Arabidopsis (rockcress) is a genus in the family Brassicaceae.They are small flowering plants related to cabbage and mustard.This genus is of great interest since it contains thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), one of the model organisms used for studying plant biology and the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced.
A wide variety of plants have been used to generate gnotobiotic systems such as Arabidopsis thaliana, peanuts, oats, corn, and many others. [17] Similar to animals, gnotobiotic plant systems have been used to study integral components of host physiology (e.g., nitrogen fixation ), [ 5 ] as well as pathogenic and symbiotic interactions between ...
The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) Content; Description: a community resource and online model organism database of genetic and molecular biology data for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, commonly known as mouse-ear cress. Organisms: Arabidopsis thaliana: Contact; Research center: Phoenix Bioinformatics: Access; Website: https ...
Genetic transformation has become very efficient in some model organisms. In 2008 genetically modified seeds were produced in Arabidopsis thaliana by dipping the flowers in an Agrobacterium solution. [44] In 2013 CRISPR was first used to target modification of plant genomes. [45]
Arabidopsis thaliana, currently the most popular model plant. This herbaceous dicot of the family Brassicaceae is closely related to the mustard plant. Its small stature and short generation time facilitates rapid genetic studies, [11] and many phenotypic and biochemical mutants have been mapped. [11] Arabidopsis was the first plant to have its ...
Arabidopsis thaliana is native to Eurasia and was introduced to some parts of North America. [2] It grows in rocky, sandy and disturbed terrains. [ 2 ] It has been found in many studies that Arabidopsis thaliana showed enhanced Na + and H + extrusion from their cells after exposure to high salinity. [ 3 ]
It is an extremely potent inhibitor of HPPD in laboratory tests using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, with a K i value of about 10 pM. [6] In plants, HPPD is necessary for the biosynthesis of tocopherols and of plastoquinone, which is essential to carotenoid production.
