(Plant physiology, Developmental biology, Molecular genetics, Population genetics, Cytology, Molecular biology)
The genus Boechera combines some of the experimental tractability and genetic tools developed for its close relative Arabidopsis with a largely undisturbed natural history, making it a promising model system for research at the intersection of genetics, genomics, ecology, and evolution. The genus includes species with the rare trait of apomixis at the diploid level.[9]
(Evolutionary ecology, Population genetics, Molecular ecology, Evolutionary biology, Ecological genetics)
Selaginella moellendorffii is a remnant of an ancient lineage of vascular plants that is key to understanding the evolution of land plants. It has a small genome size (~110Mb) and its sequence was released by the Joint Genome Institute in early 2008. (Evolutionary biology, Molecular biology)

Lemna gibba is a rapidly growing aquatic monocot, one of the smallest flowering plants. Lemna growth assays are used to evaluate the toxicity of chemicals to plants in ecotoxicology. Because it can be grown in pure culture, microbial action can be excluded. Lemna is being used as a recombinant expression system for economical production of complex biopharmaceuticals. It is also used in education to demonstrate population growth curves.
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a cereal grain. It is a diploid monocot with 10 large chromosome pairs, easily studied with the microscope. Its genetic features, including many known and mapped phenotypic mutants and a large number of progeny per cross (typically 100-200) facilitated the discovery of transposons ("jumping genes"). Many DNA markers have been mapped and the genome has been sequenced. (Genetics, Molecular biology, Agronomy)

(Plant physiology, Evolutionary biology, Molecular genetics, Molecular biology)
Marchantia polymorpha is a liverwort that is also emerging as a model for plant biology and development.
Populus is a genus used as a model in forest genetics and woody plant studies. It has a small genome size, grows very rapidly, and is easily transformed. The genome sequence of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) is publicly available.[16]
