Abstract: | Salicylic and acetylsalicylic acids applied on excised leaves of Cassia fasciculata modify the dark-induced (scotonastic) and light-induced (photonastic) leaflet movements. They inhibit the scotonastic movements in a dose-dependent manner from 1 × 10−4 to 1 × 10−3 molar and they promote the photonastic movements at an optimum concentration of 5 × 10−4 molar. These results suggest that these phenolic compounds do not act specifically on the K+ uptake, which was shown to be inhibited by their action on other materials. |
