Abstract
Nitrate reductase (NR) activity was measuredin vivo in different crop species at 25–60 °C. Highest NR activity was observed at 40 °C in pigeon pea, cowpea, sunflower, sesame and sorghum, 45 °C in maize and 50 °C in bajra. At higher incubation temperatures NR activity declined in all species. In mung bean the optimum incubation temperature varied with the season. In the summer crop of mung beans, NR activity was maximum at 50 °C while in the rainy season crop 30 °C was the optimum incubation temperature. NR in sesame was relatively heat-tolerant. The results indicate that 30 °C is not the optimum incubation temperature for all crop species.
