在目前的大规模测序，插入诱变和RNA表达谱分析技术的整个基因组的功能阐明的气候下，杂草拟南芥迅速确立了自己作为植物科学家之间的世界范围内最重要的植物物种。关注拟南芥的结果之一是，一个古老的主题“对大肠杆菌是正确的，对大象也是正确的”在其修改后的版本“对拟南芥是正确的，对所有植物都是正确的”中越来越受欢迎。虽然这对于植物发育的许多方面无疑是正确的，但仍然有大量的发育过程只能在特定的植物系统中进行研究。马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum）植物的块茎生命周期代表了不能在模式系统（如拟南芥）中研究的发育系统的一个例子。
In the present climate of functional elucidation of entire genomes by technologies comprising mass sequencing, insertional mutagenesis, and RNA expression profiling analysis, the weed Arabidopsis has rapidly established itself as the foremost plant species among plant scientists worldwide. One of the consequences of the focus on Arabidopsis is that an old theme “what is true for Escherichia coli is true for the elephant” is receiving increasing popularity in its modified version “what is true for Arabidopsis is true for all plants.” Although this is undoubtedly true for many aspects of plant development, there are still a substantial number of developmental processes that can only be studied in specific plant systems. The tuber life cycle of potato (Solanum tuberosum) plants represents an example of a developmental system that cannot be studied in model systems such as Arabidopsis.
