Agrobacterium tumefaciens is often used as a vector to introduce foreign genes into this organism, and it was the first plant to have its genome sequenced.
OXI1 is a stress-response gene that was discovered in this organism, and the FT gene and its interactions with the FD protein were first investigated in it. The biological clock gene toc was discovered in this organism as well as the HOTHEAD gene, which might indicate a new method of DNA repair. Another one of its proteins, psbS, is essential to the quenching process through its interactions with zeaxanthin and chlorophyll. Unlike other members of its genus, it has mutations in the SRK and SCR genes, which allow it to self-pollinate. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is often used as a vector to introduce foreign genes into this organism, and it was the first plant to have its genome sequenced. For 10 points, name this model organism widely used in plant biology.
