Arabidopsis thaliana, also known as Arabidopsis or mustard, is a small plant closely related to mustard and cabbage.

Its small genome size, short life cycle, large seed yield, easy genetic transformation and ability to grow in the laboratory make it a model organism for studying plant genetics, physiology, biochemistry, and development. A genetic resource center has been established to support the research activities of the Arabidopsis project by maintaining seed resources and allocating Arabidopsis to the research community.
