| effects of age, water stress, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid on leaflet movement in albizzia julibrissin. | the movement patterns of albizzia julibrissin leaflets transferred from light to darkness differ for leaflets of different age: the older the leaflet, the slower and less completely it closes. water stress, which enhances ethylene synthesis in other plants, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (acc), precursor of ethylene, both mimic the effect of aging by reducing the rate and extent of dark-induced closure. brief far-red compared to red irradiation before darkness does not appear to alter ... | 1983 | 16662885 |
| effect of far-red and green irradiation on the nyctinastic closure of albizzia leaflets. | the nyctinastic closing of albizzia julibrissin pinnules is delayed by exposure to far-red radiation at 710 and 730 nanometers, with the former more effective than the latter. far-red radiation at 750 and 770 nanometers has no effect on the process. red light at 660 nanometers, which by itself has no effect, delayed closure when given before or simultaneously with far-red radiation at 750 or 770 nanometers. low doses of green light, on the other hand, prevented all far-red radiations from delayi ... | 1982 | 16662597 |
| role of boron in the far-red delay of nyctinastic closure of albizzia pinnules. | boron has been found to be necessary for the delaying action of 710 nanometer irradiation on the nyctinastic closing of albizzia julibrissin pinnules. it is effective only over a narrow micromolar range. in contrast, the delaying action of 470 nanometer irradiation on closure is inhibited by boron. the effect of boron on leaflet closing occurs rapidly. boron is suggested to be involved in a phytochrome action that precedes and is required for a delaying effect on pinnule closing subsequently ind ... | 1982 | 16662472 |
| the effects of blue and far red light on rhythmic leaflet movements in samanea and albizzia. | the opening of excised samanea saman pulvini is promoted by prolonged blue or far-red irradiation. far-red effects are attributed partially but not completely to lowering of the pfr level. two hours of continuous or pulsed blue light or pulsed far-red light (total dosage = 2.2 x 10(18) quanta per square centimeter in all cases) also phase shifts the rhythm in samanea while two hours of continuous blue light phase shifts the rhythm in the related plant albizzia julibrissin. the same pigments appe ... | 1981 | 16661802 |

| vacuolar reorganization in the motor cells of albizzia during leaf movement. | during the leaf movements of albizzia julibrissin durazzini, volume changes in the motor cells of the pulvinule (tertiary pulvinus) are closely correlated with a reversible reorganization of the vacuolar compartment. motor cells have central vacuoles when expanded, but become multivacuolate during the time the cell volume decreases. the central vacuole reforms - apparently by fusion of small vacuoles - during motor-cell expansion. the volume changes of the vacuolar compartment account for all of ... | 1980 | 24309827 |
| effect of vanadate on rhythmic leaflet movement in albizzia julibrissin. | vanadate (na(3)vo(4)) selectively and reversibly affects the rhythmic movement of albizzia julibrissin leaflets. leaflets floated on 1 millimolar vanadate open at the same rate or more rapidly than controls, but closure is inhibited. after 6 to 24 hours incubation, the inhibition can be reversed by a 24-to 48-hour period on water or control buffer. recovery is complete in light-dark cycles, and it is almost complete under free-running conditions (prolonged darkness). leaflets floated on 10 milli ... | 1979 | 16661080 |

| circadian rhythmicity in excised samanea pulvini: i. sucrose-white light interactions. | the rhythmic movement of excised samanea saman pulvini incubated in h(2)o or 50 mm sucrose was monitored during extended periods of white light (cool white fluorescent, 2,000 ft-c), darkness, or alternating white light (16 hr) and darkness (8 hr). in continuous white light, the rhythm damps at an intermediate angle after only one cycle, whether pulvini are incubated in sucrose or h(2)o. the rhythm also damps after the first cycle when darkened pulvini are incubated in h(2)o, but it persists for ... | 1976 | 16659690 |
| potassium-linked chloride fluxes during rhythmic leaf movement of albizzia julibrissin. | transverse sections of albizzia pulvinules were examined with an electron microprobe to determine ion fluxes associated with turgorcontrolled leaflet movements. k(+) and cl(-) concentrations are high in the flexor and low in the extensor region of closed pulvini. both ions migrate out of the flexor and into the extensor during opening as previously described for k(+). the distribution of these elements is significantly correlated in each phase of the rhythmic cycle examined, but only 50 to 60% o ... | 1976 | 16659645 |
| rhythmic leaflet movement in albizzia julibrissin: effect of electrolytes and temperature alteration. | the rhythmic movement of darkened albizzia leaflets is accompanied by k(+) flux in pulvinule motor cells whose turgor changes control opening and closing. the azide-sensitive open phase is promoted by an increase in temperature from 16 to 33c (q(10) = 3), implying active transport of k(+) ions during this period. the azide-insensitive closed phase is less temperature-sensitive and has a q(10) less than 1, implying diffusion or some other physical process as the predominant pathway of k(+) flux a ... | 1973 | 16658532 |
| quantifying rhythmic movements of albizzia julibrissin pinnules. | the cosinor technique, previously applied to studies of animal rhythms, is used to assess the circadian rhythm in pinnule movement of albizzia julibrissin. the method provides a quantitative approach for studying rhythm properties of either intact or excised pinnules. phase shifting in a. julibrissin, as compared to the usually slower phase shifts of various circadian phenomena in the insect, bird, and mammal, occurs within 1 day or two. rhythm adjustment in the pinnules takes place more rapidly ... | 1973 | 16658471 |

| phytochrome-controlled nyctinasty in albizzia julibrissin: iv. auxin effects on leaflet movement and k flux. | indole-3-acetic acid, alpha-naphthylacetic acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.001 to 1.0 mm) inhibit the nyctinastic closure of excised albizzia leaflet pairs; antiauxins and auxin analogs are ineffective, and the auxin effects seem not to be mediated by ethylene. indoleacetic acid (0.001 to 0.1 mm) also promotes rhythmic opening in the dark, but is ineffective during that phase of rhythmic closure ("leaky phase") which is insensitive to azide. at these concentrations, all of the indole ... | 1972 | 16658148 |
| phytochrome-controlled nyctinasty in albizzia julibrissin: iii. interactions between an endogenous rhythm and phytochrome in control of potassium flux and leaflet movement. | prolonged irradiation during appropriate parts of the diurnal cycle promotes the opening of albizzia julibrissin leaflets. leaflets also open without illumination, but such opening starts later and is slower and less complete. opening in the dark is accompanied by lower potassium efflux from dorsal pulvinule motor cells but equal or greater potassium movement into ventral motor cells than occurs during opening in the light. far red-absorbing phytochrome inhibits opening in the dark, indicating t ... | 1971 | 16657871 |
| pulvini as the photoreceptors in the phytochrome effect on nyctinasty in albizzia julibrissin. | the fact that far-red pretreatment slows the closing response of albizzia julibrissin pinnules to darkness was used to locate the photoreceptor region for the role of phytochrome in nyctinasty, and to determine whether the effect is localized or translocated. illumination of pinnule tissue alone induced no response, while illumination of an area as narrow as 1 mm, including only the tertiary pulvini and adjacent portions of rachilla and pinnules, was sufficient for a full response. this suggests ... | 1968 | 16656829 |
| phytochrome control of rapid nyctinastic movements and membrane permeability in albizzia julibrissin. | the rapid nyctinastic movements of albizzia julibrissin pinnules are under the control of phytochrome. when given prior to a dark period, red light facilitates and far-red light inhibits pinnule closure in the dark. these light effects are mutually photoreversible. the opening reaction of the pinnules following a dark period is mediated mainly by blue light. the nyctinastic closure response is accompanied by an increased rate of electrolyte efflux from the cut pinna base. this observation, coupl ... | 1967 | 24522504 |
