AAA-2003 / Electrophysiology-of-Mimosa-pudica-L

Certain plants like the Mimosa pudica shows thigmonastic behavior. This is a nastic (rapid) behavior communicated via electrical impulses, called action potentials, within the plant. The motivation of our study is to observe the thigmonastic behavior of the M. Pudica plant by subjecting it to external electrical action potentials applied across the pulvinus and ground. And to find the minimum threshold required to trigger a thigmonastic response artificially in the plant. This observation has been conducted several times under varying specific conditions to find the exact minimum threshold charge that evokes the drooping of the petiole in the plant.
