Summary Introduction
Introduction: Arabidopsis belongs to the family Brassicaceae. Arabidopsis thaliana is otherwise called thale cress or mouse-ear cress. It is a small flowering plant related to mustard and cabbage. Arabidopsis is used as the model organism for studying plant biology. The whole genome is sequenced first in this plant.
