Using the Ecotype/Species Search
The Ecotype/Species search allows you to search TAIR's database for natural variants of Arabidopsis thaliana,other genera and species, and to place orders for seeds that are ABRC stocks. You can perform simple searching by name or add certain restrictions to narrow down the results. If you want to find other types of germplasm (e.g. transgenic strains, mutant strains, mapping strains, please use the Germplasm Search. For help on searching for other germplasms see Germplasm Search Help

- Donor last name: Last name of the person who donated the stock (e.g.Kranz). Use this if you want to find a set of ecotypes donated by a specific person.
- Description:Use this field to search within the description. For example, to find germplasms that have 'yellow-green leaves' enter CONTAINS 'yellow-green leaves' in this box.
