Detailed explanation-1: -Wisconsin Fast Plants is the registered trademark for a cultivar of Brassica rapa, developed as a rapid life-cycle model organism for research and teaching. Wisconsin Fast Plants are a member of the Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae) family, closely related to the turnip and bok choy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fast Plants are classified as “dicot” plants; they typically have 2 cotyledons. Developing more than 2 cotyledons is a relatively rare trait.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rapid cycling Brassica rapa, also known by the trademarked name Wisconsin Fast Plants, are an ideal organism for instruction. They complete their life cycle in 35–45 d (Williams and Hill, 1986) and grow at room temperature in potting soil fertilized with commonly available house plant fertilizer.
