Step 2. It is small, self-fertilising, an annual long-day plant with a six-week life cycle, producing large seed numbers and several generations per year, greatly speeding genetic experiments.
Step 3. It is easy to grow, easy to mutagenise, has extensive genomic resources, and can be routinely transformed with foreign DNA. …
