About
RHIZOMATIQUE — Natural Variation in Arabidopsis
Mutants from Wild Type to CRISPR-Crop
Dear Visitor,
You are looking at 8 petri dishes inside a growth cabinet at the greenhouses of Plant Cell Biology at the
University of Amsterdam (Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences).
A camera on a rail takes images every 20 minutes (day and night) of experiments with Arabidopsis thaliana
— a small flowering plant that is widely used as a model organism in plant biology.
Images are immediately transported to this site.
The variety in Arabidopsis exhibited — species as they occur in nature, mutant lines and genome-edited plant varieties —,
explores the biological roots of the rhizomatous network of concepts defining ‘natural’.
Sincerely,
Selene
