Leaf-movement factors of nyctinastic plant, Phyllanthus urinaria L.; the universal mechanism for the regulation of nyctinastic leaf-movement: Taking this result into account, we can advance a universal mechanism for the chemical control of
nyctinasty, namely, that either the leaf-closing or opening substance is a glycoside, and the glycoside is
deactivated by a betaglucosidase whose activity is controlled by a biological clock. .https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040402099002367?via%3Dihub
