Wisconsin Fast Plants®
Grow complete plants in 28–30 days! Fast Plants® (Brassica rapa) are rapid-cycling plants closely related to cabbage, turnips, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. Over the course of 30 years, Dr. Paul H. Williams (University of Wisconsin–Madison) successfully bred a type of wild Brassica by artificially selecting and breeding plants with certain traits. Growing Fast Plants is easy—all you need is continuous fluorescent light, water and fertilizer. Because these plants have been artificially selected, there are many controls built in to the plants that make them perfect for research in genetics, host-parasite relations, molecular biology, cell biology, plant biochemistry, population biology and plant breeding. Package of 200 seeds.
Quick PlantsTM, Arabidopsis thaliana
Study and observe the complete life cycle of a flowering plant—from seed to sprouting seed—in just 42 to 49 days! Several complete genera- tions can be raised during the academic year allowing for manipulative and observational studies that would be otherwise impossible. Study topics might include: plant anatomy, plant growth and reproduction, pollination, plant physiology and growth factors, nutrients and fertil- izers, light requirements and photoperiods, and plant genetics. Seeds typically germinate in 3–5 days. Life cycle duration assumes proper growth conditions and 18–24 hours of light per day.
Seeds should be refrigerated.

Lichen Set—3 Types
Most often mistaken for plants, lichens actually represent complex symbiotic associations between algal and fungal species. Notable as pioneer species in the process of ecological succession and as residents of environments that few other organisms can tolerate. Although they seem to thrive under inhospitable conditions, lichens are highly suscep- tible to pollution and are often seen as natural indicators of air quality. Set includes examples of the three most common morphological types of lichens: foliose, crustose and fruticose. Species vary.
