History, Plant Genetics, and Wikipedia: Remembering George Rédei

Scientists with even passing knowledge of plant biology are generally quick to recognize the foremost model plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana – a modest weed in the mustard family that goes by the common names thale-crest or mouse-ear crest. With a six-week seed-to-seed life cycle and an unusually compact genome, Arabidopsis is regarded as the best “lab rat” for plant biology. I’m dating myself, but the genome sequence of Arabidopsis was completed in 2000, while I was in graduate school.
