摘要
在过去的20年中,拟南芥作为模式植物广泛用于植物生命科学研究。历时10年的模式植物拟南芥的全基因组测序工作于2000年完成,通过测序获得的拟南芥基因组核苷酸序列全部公布在互联网上,有力地推动了植物生命科学研究向前发展。科学家提出的“2010计划”旨在通过全世界植物科学家的努力,到2010年能够尽可能多地了解拟南芥基因的功能。通过拟南芥研究所获得的信息将有助于人类对控制不同植物复杂生命活动机制的认识。
During the past 20 years, Arabidopsis thaliana was widely used as a model system in plant scientific researches. Nucleotide sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome was completed in 2000, and the entire sequencing data were released on the Internet. The use of this wealth of sequence information has accelerated progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms, by which plants develop and response to the environment. The goal of the Arabidopsis 2010 project proposed by plant scientists is to establish the function of as many Arabidopsis genes as possible by year 2010. The information from the Arabidopsis researches will be certainly useful in elucidating the complex life activities of different plant species.
