A model system for comparative research: Petunia

Tom Gerats et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2005 May.

Abstract

Research today aims to analyse the development of plant processes over evolutionary time. To obtain a representative view, a range of plant species covering at least the crucial nodes in phylogeny must be selected for an in depth analysis. Here we present Petunia as one of the available systems: as a representative of the Solanaceae it has the advantages of good culture conditions and the availability of a range of materials, techniques and strategies that can be used to research an interesting and diverse set of questions.
