Describe of Arabidopsis Thaliana Plant as a Model Plant in Biotechnology

Abstract

Arabidopsis thaliana plant has appeared as a promising model because it is self-fertilizing, which makes it preserve its characteristics and can produce thousands of seeds, which makes it ideal for conducting mutagenesis experiments. The identification of its selected traits is more clear because it has a relatively small genome. Also, the organization of the genome in it is simple and is especially suitable in genetic and biology experiments, as these plants represent small-sized and fast-rotating factories. The current study attempted to highlight the most important aspects and applications related to the use of this plant in various fields of biotechnology and to clarify its most important advantages.
