Description

A perennial herb belonging to the Brassicaceae family. It is distributed in highland gravel areas. A. lyrata is allogamous, while A. thaliana is autogamous. The genome size of A. lyrata is 207 Mb, which is larger than the 125 Mb A. thaliana genome. Its genome was sequenced in 2008, reflecting the importance of this species in the field of evolutionary ecology.

Description(Japanese)

アブラナ科シロイヌナズナ属の多年生草本。高地の砂礫地に分布する。シロイヌナズナが自殖性であるのに対して、ミヤマハタザオは他殖性である。シロイヌナズナとは一千万年前に分岐したとされ、ゲノムサイズが207 Mb とシロイヌナズナの 125 Mb に比べて大きい。欧米のグループにより、2008年にゲノムが解読された。シロイヌナズナのゲノムが何故小さくなったのか、進化生態学の研究対象として重要な植物である。
