Arabidopsis thaliana, or thale cress, is a small flowering plant in the mustard family. Arabidopsis has no inherent agricultural value and is even considered a weed, but it is one of the favored model organisms of plant geneticists and molecular...

Arabidopsis thaliana, common name thale cress or mouse ear cress, has revolutionized research in basic plant biology over the last 30 years. The number of research papers on this species grew from just a trickle before 1970 to more than 2000 in the...

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, east to Japan, and...

HOT PAPERS Before its genome was complete, some were studying the plant's gene expression profiles | By Jim Kling Even before researchers had sequenced the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, the small flowering relative of broccoli and a favorite model organism,1 others in...

Aminotransferases are an important and diverse group of proteins. Of the approximately 25,000 predicted proteins in the Arabidopsis proteome, it is estimated that 4,000 are involved in cellular metabolism. Sequence analyses predict that roughly one percent of the "metabolism" sequences of Arabidopsis encode aminotransferases....
