Common Wall Cress

<em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>, commonly known as common wall cress or thale cress, is a small annual flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae native to Eurasia and Africa, and now naturalized in North America, Australia, and other temperate regions worldwide. The species has become one of the most important model organisms in plant biology and genetics, owing to its small genome size, short generation time of approximately six weeks, prolific seed production, and ease of laboratory cultivation. <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> was the first plant to have its complete genome sequenced, in 2000, revolutionizing our understanding of plant molecular biology, development, and physiology. In nature, it typically grows in rocky outcrops, disturbed sandy soils, walls, roadsides, and waste ground, tolerating poor nutrient conditions and a wide range of climates. The plant produces a basal rosette of small ovate leaves, followed by an erect flowering stem bearing tiny white four-petaled flowers and slender silique seed pods. Despite its modest appearance, <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> has facilitated thousands of scientific discoveries in plant genetics, epigenetics, and stress responses. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height up to 30 centimeters, and seed output are well-characterized in laboratory settings.

コウカンチョウ

アカボウシインコチョウ（Paroaria coronata）はボリビア・ブラジルからアルゼンチンにかけての南アメリカ原産の、鮮やかな赤い冠羽、白い顔、灰色の体を持つ目を引く中型鳥類で、ハワイや太平洋の島々に移入されてホノルルの象徴的な庭鳥となった。密な低木、草地の端、郊外の庭に生息し、種子や小型昆虫を採食する。その名前や外見の類似性にもかかわらず、北米のショウジョウコウカンチョウとは近縁ではなく、フウキンチョウ科に属する。
