Circadian rhythmic plant leaf movement, called nyctinasty, is controlled by a time-course change in the internal concentration of the leaf-movement factor in the plant body. We report that specific binding protein (210 and 108 kDa) for a leaf movement factor, potassium lespedezate, is contained in the plasma membrane of the plant motor cell. These proteins Would be potential receptors for leaf-movement factor to control the leaf movement. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
