Arabidopsis Thaliana is a small flowering plant which is widely used by plant science researchers as a model organism to study plant developmental processes. It is a member of the Brassica family, like cabbage and radish. Arabidopsis is not of major agronomic significance, but it does have several important advantages for the researchers in many areas of plant biology - especially genetics and molecular biology. Its advantages include a small genome size (a haploid content estimated to be between 100 and 120 Mbp of DNA which is distributed among five chromosomes), a rapid life cycle (about 6 weeks from seed to seed), easy cultivation in restricted space, prolific seed production, and a large number of mutant lines.
