Potassium channels in Samanea saman protoplasts controlled by phytochrome and the biological clock

Leaflet movement in legumes depends on rhythmic, light-regulated ion fluxes in opposing regions of the leaf-moving organ. In flexor and extensor protoplasts from Samanea saman Merrill, opening and closing of K+ channels were rhythmic in constant darkness. When channels were open in flexor protoplasts they were closed in extensor protoplasts, and vice versa. The rhythms were shifted by a delay in the onset of constant darkness, a response typical of endogenous circadian rhythms. During the light period, the channels in flexor protoplasts were sensitive to red light that was followed by premature darkness; phytochrome was implicated as the photoreceptor.
