_Questions addressed in today’s chatshaala:1/07/2024_

1)How to change the _color of a flower?_

2)What is the importance of _flowers in plants?_  
Can _cardamine_ be used to address these questions? How can _genetic engineering be done using cardamine?_

_Reference shared in today’s chatshaala:_

. Moreover, transformation of RCO from  
C. hirsuta into A. thaliana was sufficient to reverse this  
evolutionary transition and make the A. thaliana leaf more  
complex (Figure 2). This result provides a rare example  
where the presence or absence of a single gene has a key  
role in shaping diversity. [https://pure.mpg.de/rest/items/item\_2326721/component/file\_2326719/content](https://pure.mpg.de/rest/items/item_2326721/component/file_2326719/content)

Isogamous is a type of sexual reproduction in which male and female gametes have similar morphology. They have similar shape and size. Anisogamous is a type of reproduction in which male and female gamete have different morphology.

> Cardamine is very much similar to a well known plant model organism that’s Arabidopsis thaliana since both belongs to the same family Brassicaceae or Mustard family: which includes Mustard, Cabbage, Reddish, turnip, Broccoli etc. The word cardamine comes from the Greek worm Kardamine meaning water cress, water cress is a leaf vegetable, Cress:which can be eaten raw or as a salad. Cardamine is widely available across the India but Arabidopsis is an European species, hence required the same envi…
