Wild
Relatives of Arabidopsis
|
Studies of evolution and ecology of natural plant
populations are facilitated by availability of a model species with
modern molecular tools. Because Arabidopsis is the best-known
experimental plant system, its close relatives have been chosen for
an international collaborative project to develop infrastructure for
molecular ecology and evolution. These pages summarize the
evolutionary relationships and ecological context of the wild
relatives of Arabidopsis.
