Arabidopsis Kin Help Keep Genetics Studies All in the Family
Elizabeth Pennisi
An unobtrusive weed often found at roadsides and other disturbed sites, Arabidopsis thaliana has risen from its humble roots to become the model organism, or "lab rat," for studying plant molecular biology. Now, by comparing the genetic makeup and characteristics of A. thaliana to its cousins, evolutionary biologists can discern how the plant has changed through time.
