Influence of Temperature on Nitrate Metabolism and Leaf Expansion in Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Seedlings.

چکیده
The effect of various day temperatures on NADH-nitrate reductase, NADH- and NADPH-glutamate dehydrogenases, nitrate, protein and leaf area, measured at intervals during the ontogeny of the first trifoliolate soybean leaf, was determined. At 32.5 C and 25 C, nitrate concentration, nitrate reductase, and NADPH-glutamate dehydrogenase activities increased concurrently with leaf development and then decreased as leaf maturation progressed. At 40 C, these three components showed no initial increase and the concentration or activities decreased throughout the development of the leaf. The effects of temperature on NADH-glutamate dehydrogenase were the reverse. Rates of protein accumulation were higher at 40 C during the first 2 days of leaf development while higher rates were measured the first 5 days of leaf growth at 32.5 C. At 25 C, protein accumulation was low during the first 3 days of leaf growth, increased in the period of 3 to 5 days, and then declined up to 8 days of leaf development. Leaf expansion progressed at faster rates at 32.5 C and 25 C and at a much slower rate at 40 C. Leaf growth was essentially complete after the fifth day regardless of temperature.In crude leaf homogenates, apparent irreversible inactivation temperatures were 36 C for nitrate reductase and 65 C for NADPH-glutamate dehydrogenase. In vivo studies indicated a lower inactivation temperature for NADPH-glutamate dehydrogenase; however, it was still more heat-tolerant than nitrate reductase.We envisaged that reduced nitrogen supplied by NO(3) (-) assimilation is a factor in leaf expansion.

The soybean (Glycine max l. merr) is one of oil seed plants from leguminous family. In this study, the effect of gamma radiation on chlorophyll, soluble and insoluble carbohydrate and composition oil seeds were investigated in soybean. Soybean variety J.K was irradiated with 0,100,200 and 300 gamma ray. The treatment and control seeds planed in with four replicates. The highest amount of total ...
متن کاملInfluence of Chromium Stress on Proline Accumulation in Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Genotypes
Four genotypes of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) were taken for investigation to know their response towards chromium stress. On the basis of seedling growth vigour index and dry weight, the genotypes JS 355 and P 1 were found tolerant to chromium stress when compared to the other genotypes. The tolerant genotypes had shown higher proline contents in their shoots.
متن کاملNitrate Reduction by Roots of Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Seedlings.
Studies were conducted with 9 to 12 day-old soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Williams) seedlings to determine the contribution of roots to whole plant NO(3) (-) reduction. Using an in vivo -NO(3) (-) nitrate reductase (NR) assay (no exogenous NO(3) (-) added to incubation medium) developed for roots, the roots accounted for approximately 30% of whole plant nitrate reductase activity (NRA) of...

Two nitrate reductase deficient mutants of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Bragg) were isolated from approximately 10,000 M(2) seedlings, using a direct enzymic assay in microtiter plates. Stable inheritance of NR345 and NR328 phenotypes has been demonstrated through to the M(5) generation. Both mutants were affected in constitutive nitrate reductase activity. Assayable activities of cNR in ...

In Clark and Shelby soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seedlings, hypocotyl elongation was inhibited and hypocotyl swelling and root dry weight were increased by a temperature of 25 C. At 20 and 30 C, development was normal, as was development of Hawkeye and Mandarin soybean seedlings at all three temperatures. Dry matter distribution at 9 days indicates that inhibition of hypocotyl elongation is...
