Gentisic acid glycosides act as leaf movement factors in Mimosa species (E 2.2). Gallic acid is an inhibitor of flowering in Kalanchoe blossfeldiana (E 2.2). Benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid as well as protocatechuic acid methyl and ethyl esters are secreted from the pygidial glands of water beetles as antiseptics and feeding deterrents (E 5.1).

Fig. 8.3 Leaf-movement factors from five nyctinastic plants.

In all of the five pairs of leaf-closing and leaf-opening factors 1-10 from the five nyc-tinastic plants discovered so far, one of each pair of factors is a glycoside, and in all cases, the concentrations of these glycoside-type leaf-movement factors change during the day in a manner similar to that described for L. cuneata. 

Bioorganic studies of nyctinasty using functionalized leaf-movement factors as molecular probes... 

The mechanisms by which leaf-movement factors induce leaf movement have been examined by using molecular probes consisting of chemically modified leaf-movement factors designed to identify the target cells of these factors. Structure-activity relationships for such probes were explored (Fig. 8.6 Ueda et al, 1999b). In this chapter, we focus on the phenolic leaf-opening factor, potassium isolespedezate (13).

The bioactivities in leaf-movement factors are specific for their original plant genus. Then, is the target protein also different among these plant genuses We synthesized fluorescence-labeled leaf-movement factors of genus Albizia, 24 and 25 (Fig. 8.10 Nagano...
