"Imaging plant germline differentiation
within Arabidopsis flower by light sheet
microscopy" starts a new era in our lab.
We tuned light sheet microscopy to see
processes like male and female meiosis
and push our ongoing research further.
We also hope to contribue to the general
field development. The paper is available
on the Biorxiv and is popular on twitter.
