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.

キアオジ

キアオジ（Emberiza citrinella）はIUCNレッドリストで準絶滅危惧（NT）に分類されています。ヨーロッパと西アジアの開けた耕作地、生け垣、林縁に生息する小型のホオジロ類で、雄の鮮やかな黄色の頭部と胸が特徴です。農業の集約化による食物減少と生息地変化により、ヨーロッパ各地で急激に減少しています。
