Sand Rock-Cress

Arabidopsis arenosa (L.) Lawalrée is a member of the Brassicaceae family and is commonly referred to as sand rock-cress. It is native to regions including Central Europe, with a distribution that extends to areas such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and others. This species is notable for occurring in both diploid and autotetraploid forms, unlike many other Arabidopsis species, which are predominantly diploid. Its genetic diversity contributes to its significance in botanical studies.
