Seismonasty

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The movement of leaves in $Mimosa$ $pudica$ (touch-me-not plant) upon being touched is known as seismonasty.Seismonasty is a type of nastic movement in plants that occurs in response to mechanical stimuli such as touch,vibration,or shaking.This movement is caused by a sudden loss of turgor pressure in the cells of the pulvinus (the swollen base of the leaf stalk).When the plant is touched,electrical and chemical signals cause water to move out of the pulvinus cells,leading to the drooping of the leaves.
