GlossaryArabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis)

small flowering plant used as a model organism in biology

Arabidopsis thaliana, commonly known as Thale cress, is a small flowering plant that is widely used as a model organism in plant biology and genetics. Its relatively simple genome, short life cycle, and ease of cultivation make it an ideal subject for studying fundamental biological processes, including gene function and regulation.
