(Plant physiology, Developmental biology, Molecular genetics, Population genetics, Cytology, Molecular biology) - Boechera genus, combines some of the experimental tractability and genetic tools developed for its close relative Arabidopsis with a largely undisturbed natural history, making it a promising model system for research at the intersection of genetics, genomics, ecology, and evolution. The genus includes species with the rare trait of apomixis at the diploid level.[12]
(Evolutionary ecology, Population genetics, Molecular ecology, Evolutionary biology, Ecological genetics) - Selaginella moellendorffii, remnant of an ancient lineage of vascular plants that is key to understanding the evolution of land plants. It has a small genome size (~110Mb) and its sequence was released by the Joint Genome Institute in early 2008. (Evolutionary biology, Molecular biology)

It is also used in education to demonstrate population growth curves.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has well-studied genetics, with many known and mapped mutants and expressed sequence tags, and there are advanced methods for genetic transformation and selection of genes.[18] Sequencing of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genome was reported in October 2007.[19] A Chlamydomonas genetic stock center exists at Duke University, and an international Chlamydomonas research interest group meets on a regular basis to discuss research results. Chlamydomonas is easy to grow on an inexpensive defined medium.
