β¦ Synopsis
Abstraet Potassiut~ lespedezate (1) is the leaf-opening substance of a nyetinastic plant, Lespedeza cuneata G. Don. We have synthesized two sugar-derivatives of 1, potassium galactolespedezate (4) and mannolespedezate (6). Both 4 and 6 were quite effective for the leaf-opening of Cass/a. raimosoides at 8 Γ 10 "/M, as slzong as 1. However, 1 kept the leaf open only for a few days; on the other hand, 4 and 6 kept the leaf open after a week at that concentration. Additionally, remarkable difference was observed in the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of natural and artificial leaf-opening sustance by using commercially available 13-glacosidase Therefore, 4 and 6 would not be hydrolized in the plant body, and are potentially useful molecular probes for the studies of the control of the nyctinastic leaf-movement by a biological clock.
