What is the life cycle of an Arabidopsis plant?
![Page 13: Background Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813af1550346895da369ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What happens during embryo development?
Each stage is essential for embryo development!
EMBRYO SAC GLOBULAR
HEART
TORPEDO

Embryos develop after double fertilization
Early embryos consist of 2 regions:
1. Embryo Proper
2. Suspensor
Globular Embryo
Embryo Proper
Suspensor

Early embryo development is a very coordinated developmental process

Late embryo development…
consists of cotyledon and axis development!
2 cotyledons
Heart Stage
Torpedo Stage

Mature Embryo
Consists of:
1.Cotyledons
2.Axis - contains the shoot
and root meristems

Here’s Why
Arabidopsis Thaliana is convenient. It has a:
Fast generation timeSmall genomeLarge mutant collectionsLarge scientific community working on all aspects of plant biology
![Page 21: Background Introduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813af1550346895da369ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How fast does it grow?Short non-seasonal generation time
Grows all year
4 to 8 weeks from a seed to a mature plant
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.

How small is it?
Arabidopsis has a small genome
120Mb (25,000 genes- same as humans!)
Arabidopsis genome was sequenced in the year 2000
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.

Everyone is in on it
Large scientific community working on all aspects of plant biology
Many resources on this plant alreadyMuch is already known about this plant
