Arabidopsis thaliana

A Robust Model System for Studying Plant-Pathogen Interactions

  • Chapter
Plant-Microbe Interactions

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 29))

Abstract

Arabidopsis thaliana is a rather unimposing crucifer that has rapidly developed into a major model system in experimental plant biology over the past 15 years. A. thaliana was first used experimentally almost 100 years ago, although it was not until the 1940s that its development into a bona fide model system began (Rédei, 1992). Numerous attributes contribute to the utility of A. thaliana as an experimental system. These include its rapid life cycle (4–6 weeks) and small size, which allow large numbers of plants to be expeditiously grown in soil or defined media, a small genome of ~ 1 Mbp with little repetitive DNA distributed among five chromosomes, the ability to generate large numbers of seeds by either self-fertilization or outcrossing, the relative ease of generating large mutant populations using a variety of mutagens, and facile methods of generating transgenic A. thaliana plants. These attributes make A. thaliana a powerful system for classical and molecular genetic studies of plant growth and development as well as plant responses to the environment (Rédei, 1975; Meyerowitz, 1987; Meyerowitz and Somerville, 1994).
