Abstract: | Effects of plant hormones were examined on the dark- and light-inducedmovements of Cassia fasciculata. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA),gibberellic acid (GA3) and 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) inhibitedthe scotonastic movement whereas abscisic acid (ABA) enhancedit. After brief treatments (5 to 30 min), the ABA effect wasinhibitory rather than promotional. Hormonal treatment in theacidic range gave the best physiological response for ABA, butthe greatest efficiency of IAA, GA3 and 6-BAP was obtained withpH values close to neutrality. Three to 5 h were needed beforeexpression of the physiological effect triggered by GA3 and6-BAP, while 5 min treatments were sufficient for IAA and ABA.Light-induced movements were largely enhanced by IAA and slightlyby GA3 but inhibited by 6-BAP and ABA. The results are discussedin relation to the ionic changes in the pulvinar motor cells,regulating leaflet movements. Key words: Abscisic acid, auxins, cytokinins, gibberellic acid, pulvinar movements |
