Arabidopsis thaliana (A-ra-bi-dóp-sis tha-li-á-na; thale cress, mouse-ear cress or Arabidopsis), is a species of Arabidopsis, native to Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa, from the British Isles south to the Azores and Morocco, ...
Arabidopsis thaliana: another "model organism"
This little plant has become to plant biology what Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans are to animal biology.
Arabidopsis thaliana: A small member of the mustard family (kitchen cress). It has a very small genome (130-140 Mbp), five chromosomes and contains almost no repetitive DNA. Its genome will be completely sequenced by the end of 2000.

A fold-out chart of Arabidopsis thaliana's genome illustrates advances in characterizing the flowering plant, a popular model for studying plant biology.
The best model organism for studying plants is the mustard weed, Arabidopsis thaliana. Its great advantage over most other plants is it's very little and it grows very fast.

species variant In TAIR species variants include natural variants of Arabidopsis thaliana collected from a variety of sources (ecotypes) as well as related Genera and species of Arabidopsis.
Model organisms for developmental biology include the round worm Caenorhabditis elegans,[38] the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster,[39] the zebrafish Danio rerio[40], the mouse Mus musculus,[41], and the weed Arabidopsis thaliana.
