Arabidopsis thaliana, the thale cress, mouse-ear cress or arabidopsis, is a small plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to Eurasia and Africa. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Commonly found along the shoulders of roads and in disturbed land, it is generally considered a weed.

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.

Heavy Water Plant Thal is the first of second generation plants in India and is made completely with indigenous efforts. It is located at Thal-Vaishet village in Raigad district of Maharashtra and is about 100 km south of Mumbai on National Highway No.66.

Thale cress is an excellent model since it has one of the smallest plant nuclear genomes (c. 157 million base pairs divided across five chromosomes) known, the genome has been fully sequenced and functions assigned to tens of thousands of the encoded genes and proteins.

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering plant that is widely used as a model organism in plant biology. Arabidopsis is a member of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family, which includes cultivated species such as cabbage and radish.

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small annual plant native to Eurasia which most gardeners are likely to dismiss as a “weed”. Compared to other relatives of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) such as cabbage or rapeseed, it has little agronomic significance.

Mouse-ear thale-cress is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, and invasive over much of North America. This species is the most studied plant in the world in part because its genome has been sequenced, and in part because it has a very short life cycle for a plant: six weeks or less from germination to seed maturation.

Named after the German physician Johannes Thal, this is a great plant for a water garden. Plant in 12 to 18 inches of water over the crown or in 5 to 20-gallon tubs. Its native habitat of southeast asia includes cypress swamps, marshes, and ponds.

Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) has a past, current, and future role in the era of synthetic biology. Arabidopsis is one of the most well-studied plants with a wealth of genomics, genetics, and biochemical resources available for the metabolic engineer and synthetic biologist.
