How long does the thale cress live?

Thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) is an annual plant, which means that it completes its life cycle within one year. The life cycle of thale cress begins with a seed. When the seed germinates, it produces a small seedling. The seedling grows into a mature plant, which produces flowers and seeds. The seeds then fall to the ground and the cycle begins again.

The average lifespan of a thale cress plant is about six weeks. However, some plants may live for longer, up to eight weeks. The lifespan of a thale cress plant depends on a number of factors, including the environment in which it is grown. Plants that are grown in ideal conditions, with plenty of light, water, and nutrients, will typically live longer than those that are grown in poor conditions.
