The uniqueness of the "shy daughter" plant on the side of the road and the beautiful flowers
Dear steemian world. I will share about "why shy daughter flowers are very sensitive to stimuli".
the beautiful flower color and the familiar name. his name is in accordance with the circumstances of this flower is very sensitive to touch, he is like a daughter who can not be touched, we are all certainly not familiar with this one plant is not it?
Maybe when we were little we often play with this one plant, its uniqueness makes us all interested, where when touched this one plant always closed. But not because of the touch alone, but blown by the wind, wobble and hot air immediately may be this one plant will make the leaves close.
Perhaps from the past until now we always wondered about the uniqueness of this embarrassed daughter plant. Well, you want to know the reason why this embarrassed daughter's leaves are closed when we touch?
Shyness or mimosa pudica is a short shrub that belongs to a member of the leguminous tribe, where it always closes its leaves when touched. Although other members of the legumes can do the same, but this embarrassed daughter plant will react more quickly than other types. Shrivelled or when the leaf buds is a temporary condition, because after a few minutes the situation will return to normal. Well, the reason why the leaves of this embarrassed daughter plant is always closed or wilted when touched that is because certain parts of the plant cells this one lost tugornya. Tugor pressure in question is the pressure that occurs on the walls of cells by water located in the vacuole or cell hole and other cell contents.
So when these embarrassed daughter plants get stimulated from the outside, certain parts of the trunk will be stimulated to release certain chemicals including potassium ions that make water out of the cell or vacuole holes, and water diffuses out of the cell, thereby causing the loss pressure inside the cell, then the cell will become deflated.
The leaves of the embarrassed daughter plant that closes when touched also occur due to the difference in pressure between certain parts of the cell. The leaves adjacent to the leaf that close will also get the same stimulus, so that the leaves will also be similarly close. In addition to the touches and other stimuli as mentioned above, the embarrassed daughter plant will also close at sunset and break at sunrise.
