摘要
Nyctinasty has been known since pre-Christian era, whereas the question 'Why do leguminous plants sleep?' has always puzzled scientists. This paper gives a clue to the historical mystery: by using synthetic inhibitors for nyctinasty, we found that legumes cannot survive without nyctinasty. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
