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.
Arabidopsis thaliana is currently the most popular model plant. Its small stature and short generation time facilitates rapid genetic studies, [93] and many phenotypic and biochemical mutants have been mapped. [93] A. thaliana was the first plant to have its genome sequenced. [93]
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 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.
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 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.
The plant Arabidopsis thaliana is used in laboratories as a model organism to understand how genes control the growth and development of plant structures. [41] Space stations or space colonies may one day rely on plants for life support. [42]
