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.
The following three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana possess both common and independent functions in floral transition: FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), LEAFY (LFY), SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 (SOC1, also called AGAMOUS-LIKE20). [5] SOC1 is a MADS-box-type gene, which integrates responses to photoperiod, vernalization and gibberellins. [4]
Arabidopsis thaliana is a first class model organism and the single most important species for fundamental research in plant molecular genetics.. A. thaliana was the first plant for which a high-quality reference genome sequence was determined and a worldwide research community has developed many other genetic resources and tools.
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 ]
The Arabidopsis genome and annotations can be visualized using the interactive SeqViewer and GBrowse tools. TAIR’s biocurators are responsible for acquiring and integrating data from the research literature (functional annotation) [ 2 ] as well as for assisting the community in using Arabidopsis data and tools.
Sexual selection in Arabidopsis thaliana is a mode of natural selection by which the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana selects mates to maximize reproductive success. Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering land plant in the family Brassicaceae, which is utilized as a model organism for genetic studies. [ 1 ]
Arabidopsis thaliana. Arabidopsis thaliana in effect performs division to control starch use at night. [8] Most plants accumulate starch by day, then metabolize it at a fixed rate during night time. However, if the onset of darkness is unusually early, Arabidopsis thaliana reduces its use of starch by an amount that effectively requires ...
