Development is a dynamic process occurring at the microscopic scale. The ability to see how it unfolds in detail is invaluable not only for helping us appreciate its full complexity but also to experimentally dissect its mechanisms. The sophistication of experimental approaches and imaging technologies has increased over the past decade at an astounding pace. In this review we highlight and discuss several studies that illustrate the latest advances in the application of live-imaging to dissect plant development.
发育是一个在微观尺度上发生的动态过程。不仅有助于我们全面理解其复杂性，而且对于实验剖析其机制，详细观察其展开过程的能力是非常宝贵的。在过去的十年中，实验方法和成像技术的复杂性以惊人的速度提高。在这篇综述中，我们强调并讨论了几项研究，这些研究说明了在应用活体成像技术剖析植物发育方面的最新进展。
