Over the past few years TAIR (the Arabidopsis Information Resource) has developed into a supercenter of information on Arabidopsis. It describes molecular aspects of genetic research activities of important research institutes all over the globe via its website: www.arabidopsis.org. The review article gives a birds eye view of some of the important features of this organizations website. It is intended to help those new to the science of molecular genetics to use this website in order to gain knowledge about all aspects of Arabidopsis genome, molecular identity of its various classes of genes, their functions; and how knowledge gained through the study of this website will enable them to organize their research in the crops of their interest. In addition, we have summarized the internet resources available on various crop genome research.
