We found that in thale cress ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) seedlings, the number of clock proteins peaks at different times in each organ. (theconversation.com)
This enzyme has been found in the following organisms: Yeast Candida cloacae Candida tropicalis Starmerella bombicola Yarrowia lipolytica Other Fungi Aspergillus terreus Mucor circinelloides PlantsArabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) Lotus japonicus Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) Tanacetum vulgare (common tansy) Archaea Uncultured marine euryarchaeota This enzyme is required for production of dicarboxylic acids by industrial Candida yeast, which have nonfunctional beta oxidation pathways.

UK researchers have redefined the term 'chemical plant' by showing thale cress ( Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings can reduce palladium salts and help produce catalytic nanoparticles . (chemistryworld.com)
Team members Helen Parker and Liz Rylott left Arabidopsis seedlings in a solution of K 2 PdCl 4 for 24 hours. (chemistryworld.com)
The research, published in the journal Nature today , showed off the tiny but miraculous green Arabidopsis thaliana , or thale cress, seedlings. (futurism.com)
In all three samples, they grew a common lab specimen, a small plant called thale cress ( Arabidopsis thaliana ). (space.com)
When the research team used the model plant thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) to break down the two signaling pathways into as many detailed individual reactions as possible in the laboratory, unexpected overlaps between the two signaling pathways emerged. (floraldaily.com)
Soil8
Unsurprisingly, the cress grew best in the Earthly volcanic ash and worse in lunar soil, but it did indeed grow in the alien dirt. (futurism.com)
Ferl and his colleagues planted thale cress in moon soil returned by Apollo 11′s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and other moonwalkers. (fox29.com)
The downside was that after the first week, the coarseness and other properties of the lunar soil stressed the small, flowering weeds so much that they grew more slowly than seedlings planted in fake moon dirt from Earth. (fox29.com)
The Florida scientists hope to recycle their lunar soil later this year, planting more thale cress before possibly moving on to other vegetation. (fox29.com)
For comparison, the scientists also grew the thale cress in a type of soil made from volcanic ash found on Earth, called JSC-1A by NASA, meant to simulate lunar soil, which is powdery and full of abrasive glass fragments. (space.com)
In a sandy loam soil, field seedlings emerged from the top 30 mm soil with most emerging from the upper 15 mm. (gardenorganic.org.uk)
Cutting seedlings, at or below the soil surface, or complete burial gives the best control. (gardenorganic.org.uk)
Proteins1
A team of scientific researchers from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences has identified the proteins that help store the bitter substances in seeds of thale cress, a model plant and close relative of rapeseed. (agscience.org.nz)
Seeds2
To protect their offspring, thale cress and closely related rapeseed plants fill their seeds with glucosinolates so that the seeds and small seedlings can defend themselves against insects and other enemies. (agscience.org.nz)
It's important though, because the gap between wimpy seedling and fully fruited, productive plant is wide. (futurism.com)
So far, the researchers have shown that their method works in thale cress ( Arabidobsis thaliana ), a model plant closely related to the rapeseed plant. (agscience.org.nz)
Common1
Common poppy is therefore a weed in both spring and autumn cereals, although frost may kill the newly germinated seedlings. (gardenorganic.org.uk)

David Bartel adds, "We were particularly struck by the unusual quadrilaterally symmetric seedlings we uncovered in our study. (sciencedaily.com)

Another 2021 photo provided by the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences shows the differences between thale cress plants grown in volcanic ash from Earth, which had a similar particle size and mineral composition to lunar soil, left, compared with those grown in the lunar soil, right, after 16 days.

2007). Method: Two-week-old seedlings and leaf material of 5-week-old plants (grown under short day conditions, 8h light) were collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen. (agrisera.com)
Experimental seeds2
The experimental seeds of rice and thale cress were brought into space in late July. (isaaa.org)
They will also introduce an in-orbit life experiment featuring experimental seeds of thale cress and rice inside the life experiment cabinet, demonstrating the sampling operation. (globaltimes.cn)
Rice3
Researchers study the world's first rice seedlings harvested in space that arrived with Shenzhou-14 crew's return capsule on December 4, 2022. (isaaa.org)
The third batch of space science experiment samples also arrived with the return capsule delivered to Beijing, including the world's first rice seedlings harvested in space. (isaaa.org)
Thale cress and rice were chosen for the experiment because thale cress represents many kinds of vegetables, such as bok choy and oilseed rape, while rice represents grain crops, including wheat and corn , said Zheng Huiqiong, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, who is also the team leader of the program.
