I know it has been a while; my RUBY marchantia did make (bloody) sexual structures👹. I took pictures but forgot to post. (Here is a pic for you @AlexGirFon)

[Alex Gir Fon @AlexGirFon]

@Thumaize Wow, Those are indeed bloody beautiful gametophores! congratulations @Thumaize! I guess they are even fertile, right? Thanks a lot for sharing! 😊

[Alex Gir Fon @AlexGirFon]

@NickDesnoyer very cool animations Nick! Nice job💪🏻

@Thumaize Bloody marchianty! It looks so cool! I wonder if they can form sexual structures and even reproduce 🤔. Congrats and thanks for sharing :)

@moravec_tomas @NickDesnoyer Yes, but just for the time lapse. Without camera, they usually get 16h light / 8h dark ;)

Our paper is out @CurrentBiology.

We show that CLV3 is a positive regulator of stem cell in the apical meristem of Marchantia gametophyte.
