โœฆ Synopsis

A plant, Mimosa pudica L. (Ojigi-so in Japanese), is known by the very rapid movement of ~he leaves when it is stimulated by touch, heating, etc. However, it is well known that there is ano~aer movement of the leaves in M. pudica, that is a very slow, periodical movement of the leaves called nyctinaslic movement which is controlled by a biological dock. We have isolated the chemical substance inducing the slow movement of the leaf of M. pudica. This chemical substance induced only the slow movement of the leaf and could not induce the rapid movement. The slow and rapid movements of mimosa would be regulated by different chemical substances.

Two well-known movements are observed in Mimosa pudica L. (Ojigi-so in Japanese): one is the very rapid movement of the leaves when it is stimulated by touch, heating, etc., and the other is the very slow, periodical movement of the leaves called nycfinastic movement which is controlled by a biologi
