Movement of Pulvinated Leaves

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany/Fortschritte der Botanik ((BOTANY,volume 56))

Abstract

Leaf movements of many plant species are mediated by curvatures of pulvini, located at the base of petioles and laminae. In pulvini, the central vascular core is surrounded by parenchymous cortex cells. The curvatures of pulvini are brought about by the coordinated and simultaneous swelling and shrinking of the cortex cells (the motor cells) in two opposing halves of the pulvinus. Motor cells that are expanded axially in the horizontal day (open, unfolded) position of leaves or leaflets are designated extensor cells, those that are contracted axially in the respective position flexor cells. Depending on whether the leaves (pulvini) move to their vertical night position (closed, folded position) downwards (e.g., secondary pulvini of Phaseolus and Samanea), or upwards (e.g., secondary pulvini of Cassia), the extensor cells are located in the lower (abaxial) or upper (adaxial) half of the pulvinus.
