The American Society of Plant Biologists is pleased to publish The Arabidopsis Book (TAB), a dynamic, fully electronic compilation of chapters co-edited by Chris Somerville, Elliot Meyerowitz, Jeff Dangl, and Mark Stitt and available free of charge on the Internet.

TAB offers a new model for scientific publishing. Each of the chapters in the book reviews in detail an important aspect of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and the content continually evolves as new information becomes available, making TAB the most comprehensive and current work on Arabidopsis.

ASPB is providing funds for the posting and maintenance of TAB on the Internet as a public service. All chapters and updates are hosted in partnership with BioOne (http://www.bioone.org) in both HTML and PDF formats.
