Botany of this species is encoded by about 135 million base pairs of DNA, forming one of the smallest genomes among flowering plants. "Arabidopsis" was the first plant to have its genome sequenced, in 2000. The sequencing of some other relatively small genomes, of rice ("Oryza sativa") and "Brachypodium distachyon", has made them important model species for understanding the genetics, cellular and molecular biology of cereals, grasses and monocots generally. Model plants such as "Arabidopsis thaliana" are used for studying the molecular biology of plant cells and the chloroplast. Ideally, these organisms have small genomes that are well known or completely
Earias cupreoviridis of costa suffused with pinkish yellow. There is a brownish irregular marginal band with a yellowish inner edge. Abdomen and hindwings pure white. The caterpillar is pale pinkish brown with olive-green speckles. Anterior tubercles are orange colored and the later are pinkish brown. There are jet-black spots above the spiracles. Larval food plants are "Abelmoschus esculentus", "Diospyros", "Gossypium", "Grewia tiliaefolia", "Corchorus", "Hibiscus", "Kydia calycina", "Malvastrum coromandelianum", "Oryza sativa" and "Sida cordifolia". Earias cupreoviridis Earias cupreoviridis, called the cupreous bollworm as a larva, is a moth of the family Nolidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. It
