RESUMO
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.
