Kelps are large seaweeds (algae) belonging to the brown algae (Phaeophyceae) in the orderLaminariales. There are about 30 different genera.[citation needed] Kelp grows in underwater “forests” (kelp forests) in shallow oceans, and is thought to have appeared in the Miocene, 23 to 5 million years ago.[2] The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 […] read more

Arabidopsis (rockcress) is a genus in the family Brassicaceae. They are small flowering plants related to cabbageand mustard. This genus is of great interest since it contains thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), one of the model organisms used for studying plant biology and the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced. Changes in thale cress […] read more
