Arabidopsis thaliana, commonly known as thale cress, is a small flowering plant in the mustard family that serves as the foremost model organism in plant biology. Its short life cycle, small and fully sequenced genome, prolific seed production, and ease of genetic manipulation make it ideally suited for studying plant genetics, development, physiology, and responses to the environment, and discoveries made in Arabidopsis frequently inform understanding of crop and other plant species. It is widely used to dissect the molecular mechanisms of gene regulation, hormone signaling, stress responses, and growth. Research in Advances in Plant Biology and related OpenAccessPub journals engages with the molecular plant biology in which Arabidopsis is a central tool, including a study of the dimerization of the BASIC PENTACYSTEINE domain in plant GAGA-factors, mediated by disulfide bonds and required for DNA binding, which examines transcriptional regulators studied in this model system. Related work in the portfolio addresses plant gene expression, circular RNAs, and responses to drought and salt stress. Together these contributions reflect the molecular and developmental questions for which Arabidopsis provides a foundational platform. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to Arabidopsis thaliana and its role in plant molecular biology.
