Hi there,

I am working on a school project that involves designing a plant and
greenhouse system on Mars. We would like to use the Arabidopsis plant.

Do you know how much water one plant uses in its life cycle? Is there
a web site or publication that discusses this? I know this plant can
be modified for low water requirements, but have not been able to find
a paper discussing the water usages of this version either.

Thank you for your time,
Ken Mankoff

There have been entire books written on Arabidopsis.
If you haven't found a reference, you haven't been looking very hard.

Did you search Agricola?

I looked up Arabidopsis on google and it came up with dozens of pages of links
and info. Everything but a pictue or it's common name.

remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai.
I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a
shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught
please, contact me

That's because Wankoff didn't bother to do a search himself.

He wants us to do all the work for him.
