| Abstract: | 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 the closure of young leaflets, but far-red preirradiation retards the closure of middle-aged and old leaflets floating on water, and middle-aged leaflets treated with ACC. A change in some membrane property and/or cell wall lignification are suggested as possible explanations for the alteration of leaflet movement. |
