In addition, "Mimosa pudica" can change the physico-chemical properties of the soil it invades.

A comparatively slow-moving plant is Mimosa pudica, which closes its leaflets in a graceful sequence.

The shifting dynamics of this relationship are demonstrated by the corresponding improvement of various symbiotic characteristics in both Mimosa pudica and bacteria.

Common examples for pulvinar movements include the night closure movement of legume leaves and the touch response of the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica).

Mimosa Pudica also show thermotropism by the collapsing of leaf petioles leading to the folding of leaflets, when temperature drops.

In 1729, de Mairan performed an experiment that demonstrated the existence of circadian rhythms in plants, specifically the Mimosa pudica.

It is not known exactly why Mimosa pudica evolved this trait, but many scientists think that the plant uses its ability to shrink as a defense from herbivores.

I can't leave a houseplant alone that long, but the burro's tail is doing O.K. Not so the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica).

The project was to research action potential in the Algae Nitella, and the parenchama cells of the Mimosa pudica to determine their sensitivity to various external stimuli.

Other plants that appear are the Tridax Daisy (Tridax procumbens) and Sensitive Weed (Mimosa pudica).

It is bipinnately compound, each leaf having 8-12 pairs of pinnae, each with 16-20 pairs of pinnules, unlike Mimosa pudica which has at most two prickly pairs of leaflets.

Some plants are capable of rapid movement: the mimosa plant (Mimosa pudica) makes its thin leaves point down at the slightest touch and carnivorous plants such as the Venus flytrap snap shut by the touch of insects.

Featuring a long wooden dock, beautiful sunsets, lush vegetation (including Mimosa pudica), food sellers, and local children-chartered dinghy rides, this beach is the preferred hangout spot for middle and high school students to decompress after a long day in school.

Newly cleared ground is fairly quickly colonised by C. odorata together with razor grass (Paspalum virgatum) and sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) in exposed sites, and Bidens pilosa and other composites, and a variety of herbs, in more sheltered areas.
