Decoding the genetic structure of Arabidopsis thaliana diversity throughout its geographical area provides a basis for explaining the population history of this model plant. Arabidopsis thaliana is studied as a model plant with many characteristics such as probable origin, local and global genetic diversity model, population structure, adaptation and so on. The purpose of this paper is to accurately assess the structure of the global population of Arabidopsis thaliana. The genetic structure of Arabidopsis thaliana populations in 16 populations of this species is examined by electrophoretic evaluation of 9 enzyme systems. The results show that the habit of dense growth of Arabidopsis rosette is maintained by convergent activities of Arabidopsis thaliana Homeobox Gene 1 (ATH1) and DELLA genes, which signal gibberellin.
