Visualization of the precise structure recognition of leaf-opening substance by using biologically inactive probe compounds: Fluorescence studies of nyctinasty in legumes 2
Intimate correlation between bioactivity and binding activity was shown using biologically active and inactive fluorescence-labeled probe compounds for nyctinasty. This results suggested the existence of a receptor which recognizes the aglycon of a leaf-opening substance on the motor cell.
