Cowpea is a leguminous plant belonging to the fabaceae family cultivated in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, with productive potential. Among the abiotic factors, water deficiency is one of the main environmental limitations that influence agricultural production in the world. The objective was to evaluate changes in carbon and nitrogen metabolism in cowpea plants exposed to water deficit. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia (UFRA, Belém, PA), cowpea plants BR-17 Gurguéia Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp were used. The experimental design was completely randomized (DIC) in a 2 x 2 factorial scheme, two water conditions (control and water deficit) and two times of stress (four and six days of water suspension), with 7 replications, totaling 28 experimental units. Changes in the metabolism of cowpea plants were evident, with alterations in the activity of the nitrate reductase enzyme, concentrations of total soluble proteins, soluble amino acids, free ammonium and nitrate in the leaf tissue and roots.
