Description:
Model species continue to underpin groundbreaking plant science research. At the same time, the phylogenetic resolution of
\nthe land plant tree of life continues to improve. The intersection of these 2 research paths creates a unique opportunity
\nto further extend the usefulness of model species across larger taxonomic groups. Here we promote the utility of the
\nArabidopsis thaliana model species, especially the ability to connect its genetic and functional resources, to species across
\nthe entire Brassicales order. We focus on the utility of using genomics and phylogenomics to bridge the evolution and
\ndiversification of several traits across the Brassicales to the resources in Arabidopsis, thereby extending scope from a model
\nspecies by establishing a \xe2\x80\x9cmodel clade.\xe2\x80\x9d These Brassicales-wide traits are discussed in the context of both the model species
\nArabidopsis and the family Brassicaceae. We promote the utility of such a \xe2\x80\x9cmodel clade\xe2\x80\x9d and make suggestions for building
\nglobal networks to support future studies in the model order Brassicales.
