Experiments were conducted with soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv ;Ransom') plants to determine if diurnal rhythms in net carbon dioxide exchange rate (CER), stomatal resistance, and sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity persisted in constant environmental conditions (constant light, LL; constant dark DD) and to assess the importance of these rhythms to the production of nonstructural carbohydrates (starch, sucrose, and hexose). Rhythms in CER, stomatal resistance, and SPS activity were observed in constant environmental conditions but the rhythms differed in period length, amplitude, and phase. The results indicated that these photosynthetic parameters are not controlled in a coordinated manner. The activity of UDPG pyrophosphorylase, another enzyme involved in sucrose formation, did not fluctuate rhythmically in constant conditions but increased with time in plants in LL. In LL, the rhythm in CER was correlated positively with fluctuations in total chlorophyll (r = 0.810) and chlorophyll a (r = 0.791) concentrations which suggested that changes in pigment concentration were associated with, but not necessarily the underlying mechanism of, the rhythm in photosynthetic rate. Assimilate export rate, net starch accumulation rate, and leaf sucrose concentration also fluctuated in constant light. No single photosynthetic parameter was closely correlated with fluctuations in assimilate export during LL; thus, assimilate export may have been controlled by interactions among the endogenous rhythms in CER, SPS activity, or other metabolic factors which were not measured in the present study.
