Image Processing of Leaf Movements in Mimosa pudica

In this paper the plant Mimosa pudica’s response to changed illumination conditions is being examined. An image processing routine, using the HSV color model and triangle intensity threshold segmentation, is developed to segment time-lapse image series of Mimosa pudica, quantifying the plant’s image pixel count as a measure of movement. Furthermore, the method of Farnebäck is used to estimate d...

Mimosa pudica, Dionaea muscipula and anesthetics.

Some studies showed that anesthetics reduce the response of physical stimuli in Mimosa pudica and in Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), peculiar plants that have the ability to respond to touch stimuli. In this research we tested the effects of ketamine, lidocaine, diethyl ether, and amlodipine on the movements of Mimosa pudica and Venus Flytrap. With a literature review, we tried to bring elem...

Contractile Characteristics of Mimosa pudica L.

The force-velocity characteristics of the primary pulvinus of Mimosa pudica have been determined using a new polytonic measurement technique. The contractile characteristics were determined from a modified form of Hill's equation (Hill, A. V. 1938. Proc. Roy. Soc. London B126: 136-195) describing the physiological contractile behavior of animal muscle. The values of the resulting Hill's constan...
