video: Time lapse movie of the in vitro cotton model showing the development of fibers and integration of the fluorescent molecule. The time lapse movie was taken for 20 days with 1 image per hour. This video is shown under UV light to trace the fate of the fluorescent molecule. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 15 September 2017, issue of Science, published by AAAS.
