Abstract
The first descriptions of circadian rhythms were of the rhythmic leaf movements of plants. Rhythmic leaf movements offer a sensitive, noninvasive, nondestructive, and non-transgenic assay of plant circadian rhythms that can be readily automated, greatly facilitating genetic studies. Rhythmic leaf movement is particularly useful for the assessment of standing variation in clock function and can be readily applied to a diverse array of dicotyledonous plants, including both wild species and domesticated crops.
