Eutrema salsugineum is a relative of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as some agriculturally important crops in the genus Brassica such as Oilseed Rape. Of particular interest, E. salsugineum is salt-tolerant, and thus serves as a good model for studying the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance, which aid in develping strategies to engineer and breed salt-tolerant crops. E. salsugineum genome is roughly 243.1 Mb arranged in 639 scaffolds (ref).
