seismonastic MOVEMENT are also called as thigmonastic movement .
these are rapid responses to vibration , touch , and flexure ,
for example – suppose the human being touch a plant , then it will show rapid responses to it ,
u can also take example of high speed bending of pulvini leaf , and the sensitive part of mirnosa sensitiva (scientific name ) , and the curvature of insectivorous plant .
coming to your 2nd query – the nyctinastic movement also called as nastic movement ,
here the plant will show responses to the envoirnmental stimuli , and stimuli means factor .
u can take example of any enviornmental factor , like heat , sunrise and sunset , raining etc .
but here , the stimulus and direction of response are not same and its independent .
that means its not conform always that if raining then this plant will bend towards a particular direction .
anathor EXAMPLE U CAN TAKE OF DARKNESS, THE RESPONSE OF PLANT ON THE ONSET OF DARKNESS.
LIKE CLOSING THE PETALS OF FLOWER IN THE DUSK , AND SLEEP MOVEMNET OF LEAVES OF MANY LEGUME PLANTS .
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT ,
IF NOT , THEN LET ME KNOW ..
all the best ..
