“…Since that pioneering meeting, over 125 articles have been published on E. salsugineum and the related (and even more salt-tolerant [Orsini et al, 2010]) Schrenkiella parvula (formally Thellungiella parvula and Eutrema parvulum). Furthermore, various genetic resources have been generated, including chromosome-level genome assemblies, natural accession collections, full-length cDNA and EST collections, transformation protocols, a plant transformation-competent large-insert DNA library, Arabidopsis lines expressing an E. salsugineum cDNA library, nuclear and organelle genome sequences, microRNA sequences, cDNA microarrays, RNA sequencing data sets (Wang et al, 2004(Wang et al, , 2018a(Wang et al, , 2018bWong et al, 2005;Du et al, 2008;Taji et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008Zhang et al, , 2013Amtmann, 2009;Dassanayake et al, 2011a;Oh et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2012;Bartels and Dinakar, 2013;Champigny et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2013;Batelli et al, 2014;Fukami-Kobayashi et al, 2014;Guo et al, 2016;He et al, 2016;Yin et al, 2018), and dedicated Web resources (http:// extremeplants.org/). Given their increasing importance as model systems (Box 1), E. salsugineum and S. parvula were ranked by the journal Cell as one of the next top models (Zhu et al, 2015).…”
