Abstract
14 CO 2 assimilation, photosynthate distribution, stomatal resistance, and acetylene reduction activity of vegetative soybean plants [ Glycine max (L.) Merr., var. ‘Clay’] were examined 3 hours after pulse labeling the leaves with 14 CO 2 . The plants had previously been water stressed for 20 hours by polyethylene glycol additions to the culture solution. Photosynthetic CO 2 exchange rate (CER) and acytelene reduction activity of control and water stressed soybean plants were also monitored for 6 hours following polyethylene glycol induced water stress. 14 CO 2 assimilation and specific nodule activity (SNA) decreased and stomatal resistance (r 8 ) increased with increasing water stress in the 14 CO 2 labeling experiment. There was a significant negative correlation (r=−0.71) between SNA and r 8 • Dry weights of leaves, of stems plus petioles, and of nodules were significantly decreased in the water stress treatments, while root dry weights increased. Water stress resulted in a redistribution of 14 C with a greater proportion of the 14 C being translocated to the roots and nodules at the expense of the leaves. In the time course study, CER decreased after the imposition of an abrupt water stress (−12 bar), but total nodule activity was not affected. It is suggested that in. hibition of nodule activity under long term water stress was not caused solely by the decreased CER, but also by changes in photosynthate pool sizes.
