Diurnal Serianthes nelsonii Merr. leaflet paraheliotropism reduces leaflet temperature, relieves photoinhibition, and alters nyctinastic behavior
The diel cycle of Serianthes nelsonii leaflet movements was characterized under four levels of shade from full sun to 22% sunlight transmission to determine the photoprotective components of diurnal leaflet movements and the relationship to patterns of nocturnal leaflet movements.Treatments also included negating paraheliotropism by re-orienting pl
