RESUMO

Indole-3-acetic acid, α-naphthylacetic acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.001 to 1.0 mm) inhibit the nyctinastic closure of excised Albizzia leaflet pairs; antiauxins and auxin analogs are ineffective, and the auxin effects seem not to be mediated by ethylene. Indoleacetic acid (0.001 to 0.1 mm) also promotes rhythmic opening in the dark, but is ineffective during that phase of rhythmic closure (“leaky phase”) which is insensitive to azide. At these concentrations, all of the indoleacetic acid effects are reversible upon transfer of the tissue to water and are linked to alteration of potassium flux in pulvinule motor cells.
