What are the best plants to use for science experiments?
i am working with the plant arabidopsis thaliana

it is cheap

its genome has been sequenced

it can be grown in all the seasons by giving a cold treatment of 4 degree centigrade for three days. and then keeping it into the growth room with a tempratue of about 20 degrees.

you can grow it in just 7 weeks to get its seeds.

so it has a life cycle of just 8-10 weeks.

please inform me when you get your results.

i have the seeds but i dont know how to send them to you?
Reply:I would try to use wheat. It will fulfill all your requirements for cheap, easily available and winter hardy. You didn't say if you wanted this plant to grow outside or inside during the winter. Wheat will do both but it probably needs to be planted before the soil gets too cold. If you are in the Northern hemisphere, it might be too late now.
Reply:Arabidopsis, a kind of mustard plant, is the one geneticists like to mess with these days.

I don't know about it surviving in winter. I live in California. Everything survives.
