Makahiya leaves curl when they are touched or disturbed as a defense mechanism against predators. This reaction is triggered by the plant's ability to rapidly move water from certain cells, causing the leaflets to fold inward and appear wilted.
Makahiya leaves are sensitive because they have specialized cells on the leaf surface called pulvini, which respond to touch or physical stimulus. When these cells are touched, they rapidly lose water, causing the leaflets to close in a defensive response to protect themselves from potential harm or herbivores.
this unusually quick response is due to rapid water release from specialized clls at the bases of leaftsalks.Makahiya is an herb also known as the "Shy" makahiya, it's scientific name is Mimosa pudica. Mimosa pudica (Sensitive Plant), is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, re-opening minutes later.
