Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Arabidopsis thaliana, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed germinationRelated: Its genetics have made it a major system for studying hormonal and environmental control of germination.

• BrassicaceaeBroader topic: Its compact genome and rapid life cycle made the family central to genetics research.

• GlucosinolatesRelated: Its well-characterized glucosinolate pathways have helped identify biosynthetic genes and regulatory mechanisms.

• DiploidRelated: Its ordinary cells are diploid, with five chromosome pairs.

• Plant cellBroader topic: Its cells are a standard system for investigating plant genes, organelles, and development.

• Brassica rapaRelated: Its well-studied biology offers a comparison for research on B. rapa.

• Self-pollinationBroader topic: Its predominantly selfing reproduction makes controlled genetic studies practical.

• MyrosinaseBroader topic: Its well-studied myrosinase system has clarified glucosinolate-mediated defense.

• Species PlantarumBroader topic: Linnaeus published its species name in Species Plantarum.

• TrichomeRelated: Its leaf trichomes enabled genetic studies of cell fate and branching.

• VernalizationRelated: Its flowering genes enabled detailed molecular explanations of vernalization.

• PopulusCompared with: Arabidopsis is easier to grow, while Populus better represents perennial woody growth.

• Shoot apical meristemRelated: Genetic studies in this species identified key regulators of shoot meristem maintenance.

• HypocotylRelated: Its seedlings make hypocotyl growth easy to measure in controlled experiments.

• BrassinosteroidRelated: Mutant studies in Arabidopsis revealed key components of brassinosteroid signaling.

• Populus trichocarpaCompared with: Unlike this herbaceous model, black cottonwood supports studies of woody growth and perennial life.

• Plant embryonic developmentRelated: Its embryos are central to modern studies of plant development.
