Arabidopsis thaliana is an annual (rarely biennial) plant, usually growing to 20–25 cm tall. [6] The leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant, with a few leaves also on the flowering stem. The basal leaves are green to slightly purplish in color, 1.5–5 cm long, and 2–10 mm broad, with an entire to coarsely serrated margin; the stem ...
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.
CCA1 was first identified in Arabidopsis thaliana by Elaine M. Tobin’s lab in UCLA in 1993. [2] Tobin’s lab was studying promoter fragments that contribute to light regulation of light-harvesting Chlorophyll A/B Binding Protein (LHCB), and noticed DNA-binding activity that had affinity for a specific light-responsive fragment of the LHCB promoter.
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 ...
The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is 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. [1]
George Rédei pioneered the use of A. thaliana for fundamental studies, mutagenizing plants with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and then screening them for auxotrophic defects [5] and writing an influential review in 1975. [6] Rédei distributed the standard laboratory accessions 'Columbia-0' and 'Landsberg erecta'. [8] [18]
Exposito-Alonso's research includes the study of genetic and phenotypic basis of plant local adaptation to different climates using Arabidopsis thaliana as model system. His research combines large-scale common garden experiments and genome sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 to study the consequence of gene edits in Arabidopsis.
Observation with an optical microscope of Hyaloperonospora parasitica within a leaf of Arabidopsis thaliana by using the trypan blue staining. Trypan blue is commonly used in microscopy (for cell counting) and in laboratory mice for assessment of tissue viability. [5] The method cannot distinguish between necrotic and apoptotic cells.
