Arabidopsis thalianahas long served as a popular model organism in plant biology and genetics as a complex multicellular eukaryote with a short lifecycle and relatively small genome (~135 megabase pairs [Mbp]). Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant to have its genome completely sequenced and remains an important research tool for understanding the molecular biology of plant behaviors, such as flower development and light sensitivity.

Here, root development is imaged using SPIM techniques
