Abstract in brief

  • This study introduces a new imaging technique using light sheet fluorescence microscopy to observe plant growth in near-physiological conditions without harming the plant, allowing detailed visualization from cellular to organ levels over time.
  • The researchers designed a special chamber to keep plants like Arabidopsis thaliana alive and healthy during imaging, enabling them to monitor growth processes such as root development, cell division, and internal movements for periods ranging from seconds to days.
  • Overall, this advanced imaging method offers a powerful way to study plant biology dynamically and quantitatively, helping scientists understand growth processes at multiple scales and potentially leading to new insights in plant development research.]
