Abstract

Diurnal variations in acetylene reduction is shown in nitro gen-fixing faba bean.

The highest values for ARA occurred during the light period, while the lowest values

were recorded during the dark periodo However, the glutamate synthase cycle enzymes

(GS and NADH-GOGAT) and NADH-GDH show rhythmic behaviour on a cycle of 16

h, with maximum and minimum activities both being observed during the photoperiod

as well the dark periodo
