What:

"Arabidopsis is like the lab rat of the plant science world. It has a short life cycle, a small genome, small size, and produces A LOT of teeny tiny seeds (which get EVERYWHERE when you harvest them!). And it is really easy to make transgenic versions of these plants. These factors make it an ideal model plant, and its use in the study of plant genetics, physiology, and biochemistry is widespread."
