Abstract
Upon treatment with 10−4 M IAA the membrane potential of an isolated cell from the main pulvinus, ofMimosa pudica L. depolarized by about 6 mV in 2–5 min, but later it gradually hyperpolarized by about 30 mV. The membrane potential of a motor cell in the main pulvinar tissue hyperpolarized by about 80 mV 1 hr after application of 10−4 M IAA.
