Abstract

Chemical aspects of the circadian leaf movement known as nyctinasty are discussed in this chapter. Each nyctinastic plant from the five different genera examined so far contained a pair of factors, one of which induces leaf closure while the other induces leaf opening. Changes in the relative contents of the closing and opening factors correlated with nyctinastic leaf movement. The use of fluorescence-labeled and photoaffinity-labeled factors revealed that the leaf-closing factor binds to a 38-kDa membrane protein of motor cells.
