      It’s a little weedy plant called Arabidopsis which is a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard. I use it because scientists already know all of it’s DNA so if I do an experiment people all over the world can check if I’m right

      Rice. But only because that is what I have been most interested in from my samples. I find all kinds of things in them, including wheat, barley, lots of millet species, and some really strange things that turn up very rarely like bottlegourd.
