Summary of today’s CUBE Chatshaala Discussion:-




Chemical Basis of Plant Leaf Movement | Plant and Cell Physiology | Oxford Academic We discussed this paper a few days back too in Chatshaala but didn’t complete it.





Questions that still stands out:-
Why do some plants at all show nyctinastic behavior? What are the physiological or evolutionary benefits of doing so?
What kind of Circadian rhythm do Arabidopsis plants show?
Closing of leaf’s behavior is just in some plants so if we consider all plants what else could be the behavior or changes(internal or external) condition of plants when they ‘sleep’?
