The physiologic activity of two corn varieties regarding nitrogen accumulation and remobilization in the vegetative phase was evaluated by the activity of the nitrate reductase enzyme (NR), and NO3 - contents of the N-amino and soluble sugars in leaves, hems and stems of the plants. The varieties were selected according to their agricultural characteristics: BRS 4157 (Sol da Manhã), an improved variety used in familial agriculture and BRS 1010, an exotic variety, a simple hybrid used in extensive agriculture. The plants were cultivated in a greenhouse, in pots containing a Red-Yellow Argissol submitted to two doses of N-NO3 - (130 and 1300 mg of N per pot). Harvests were made at the first two stages of the vegetative development, at 32 and 60 days after germination (DAG). The Sol da Manhã variety, efficient in nitrogen use, adapted itself to the condition of low nitrogen due to its higher capacity in accumulating NO3 - in the leaves in the first development stage, and remobilizing it during the second stage. This resulted in a higher free amino-N concentration in the leaves and hems when compared to the simple hybrid BRS 1010, described as a high potential in productivity under low nitrogen conditions.
