Original video: https://youtu.be/GVn8C4uZBTM Published on: 19 August 2025 This scientific time-lapse movie provides a side-by-side comparison of the gravitropic responses in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. By tracking the growth of "narrow structures" in the dark, the video reveals how the presence or absence of starch-filled amyloplasts dictates the plant's ability to navigate gravity. Gravitropism is a plant response to gravity that directs organ growth and development

Original video: https://youtu.be/ryY0jLReQjU Published on: 19 August 2025 Witness the incredible biological navigation of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha in total darkness. This time-lapse sequence captures the growth of "narrow structures"—specialized upward-reaching organs—following a 90° rotation of the plant. Gravitropism is a plant response to gravity that directs organ growth and development, playing a key role in the adaptation of land plants. While its molecular b

Original video: https://youtu.be/qp3i6jGw4CA Published on: 19 August 2025 Witness the remarkable adaptive response of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha as it shifts from light-grown development to dark-induced growth. This time-lapse sequence captures 11-day-old thalli (the main plant body) being transferred to total darkness, triggering a specialized survival mechanism. Gravitropism is a plant response to gravity that directs organ growth and development, playing a key rol

Original video: https://youtu.be/FaaPvj3Y864 Published on: 19 August 2025 This video features a series of microscopy recordings showing critical stages in the formation of the female reproductive organ (carpel) in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Through a comparison between wild-type controls and hormone treatments, this footage reveals how chemical signaling coordinates the shape and early development of the flower. Plant organ initiation requires precise spatial and t
