Abstract
Being the largest organelle in a cell, the nucleus houses the genetic code of an organism and primarily serves as the cell’s information center. Proper implementation and consolidation of physiological stress are intrinsic for proper growth and development. Studies reveal that in animals, under chronic stress, the nuclear size shows morphological plasticity. This paper proposes the chronic stress study on plant specimens, namely, Allium cepa root, upon induction on Rhodamine B fluorophore, using our in-house developed dual arm multi-level magnification light sheet microscopy (DMx-LSFM) system. Employing our home-built microscope, we can analyze the difference in girth of the nuclear membrane under different magnification levels simultaneously, which helps to inspect the minute details and structural changes occurring in the organelle. The study was then further extended to investigate the role of exposure time and concentration of the stress agent on the sample.
