摘要：

Potassium lespedezate (1) is the leaf-opening substance of a nyctinastic plant, Lespedeza cuneata G. Don. We synthesized two sugar-derivatives of 1, potassium galactolespedezate (2) and mannoisolespedezate (3). Both 2 and 3 were quite effective for the leaf-opening of L. cuneata. at 8 x 10(-7) M, as strong as 1. However, 1 kept the leaf open only for a few days; on the other hand, 2 and 3 kept the leaf open after a week at that concentration. Thus it is assumed that 2 and 3 could not be hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase in the plant body, and are therefore potentially useful molecular probes for the studies of the control of the nyctinastic leaf-movement by a biological clock.
