The circadian clock regulates a wide range of electrophysiological and developmental processes in plants. Here, we discuss the direct influence of a circadian clock on biologically closed electrochemical circuits in vivo. The biologically closed electrochemical circuits in the leaves of C. miniata (Kaffir lily), Aloe vera and Mimosa pudica, which regulate their physiology, were analyzed using the charge stimulation method. Plants are able to memorize daytime and nighttime. Even at continuous light or darkness, plants recognize nighttime or daytime and change the input resistance. The circadian clock can be maintained endogenously and has electrochemical oscillators, which can activate ion channels in biologically closed electrochemical circuits. The activation of voltage gated channels depends on the applied voltage, electrical charge, and the speed of transmission of electrical energy from the electrostimulator to plants.
生物钟调节植物中广泛的电生理和发育过程。在这里，我们讨论生物钟对体内生物封闭电化学回路的直接影响。使用电荷刺激法分析了调节其生理的小鹤蕉（鹤望兰）、芦荟和含羞草叶片中的生物封闭电化学回路。植物能够记住白天和黑夜。即使在连续光照或黑暗中，植物也能识别白天和黑夜，并改变输入电阻。生物钟可以内源性维持，并具有电化学振荡器，可以激活生物封闭电化学回路中的离子通道。电压门控通道的激活取决于施加的电压、电荷量以及从电刺激器到植物的电能传输速度。
