Looking at a typical plant, you may not notice that it is moving. Although generally perceived as static, all plants are dynamic, as shown by time-lapse photography. Plant Tracer is the first App-based tool that enables students and scientists to quantify plant movement (circumnutation and gravitropism) from time-lapse movies using their hand-held devices (iPhones). Plant Tracer is being used […]
