The mechanisms by which the mycorrhizal symbiosis protects soybean (Glycine max) plants against premature nodule senescence induced by drought stress is investigated here by evaluating the activity of a set of antioxidant enzymes in relation to nodule senescence. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) activity was determined in well watered or drought-stressed soybean plants inoculated with Bradyrrhizobium japonicum alone or in combination with Glomus mosseae. In roots, only GR activity was higher in mycorrhizal than in non-mycorrhizal plants. The other antioxidant activities were similar, or lower (APX), in droughted, mycorrhizal plants than in the corresponding nonmycorrhizal ones. Similarly, in nodules, SOD, CAT and APX activities were lower in droughted, mycorrhizal plants than in nonmycorrhizal plants whereas, again, GR activity was higher in nodules from mycorrhizal plants. We propose that the consistently higher GR activity in roots and nodules of mycorrhizal plants might have contributed to decreased oxidative damage to biomolecules, which are involved in premature nodule senescence. Additional drought-avoidance mechanisms induced by the AM symbiosis might also contribute to the lower oxidative stress in mycorrhizal plants.
