? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Drought is a major adverse environmental factor that limits plant productivity. Concomitant assimilation of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in illuminated leaves requires the regulated partitioning of reductant and photosynthate to sustain the demands of amino acid and carbohydrate biosynthesis. The short-term exposure to drought and its responses of photosynthesis and photosynthate partitioning to N enrichment was studied in Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub (guar). Four contrasting varieties of guar, HG-563, RGC-986 (drought-tolerant) and RGC-471, Varsha (drought-sensitive) were subjected to 15 days water stress and leaf tissues were studied in order to contemplate the counter strategy engaged under drought conditions. In guar plants, sensors trigger a signalling cascade that activates numerous proteins to induce the expression of certain genes involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism.The levels of glucose, starch, and Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), Aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), Nitrate Reductase (NR), and Nitrite reductase (NiR) activities were determined biochemically during 15 days drought treatment, at three stages. Further, the carbon (oxidative phosphorylation and TCA cycle) - nitrogen metabolic pathway interaction was studied at the molecular level. The respiratory pathway genes were upregulated, while the nitrogen metabolic pathway genes were downregulated under all stages of drought in guar plants. The physiological, biochemical and molecular data suggests that the high rates of dark respiration was insufficient to provide extra carbon required to assist amino acid synthesis but rather sufficed by a rapid metamorphosis in the photosynthetic carbon partitioning to amino acid metabolism via the nitrogen metabolism.
