RESUMO

Herbicides are applied in cultures with the objective to eliminate weeds, but the effects over the plants sometimes are not perceptible or are not widely considered. Plants under stress conditions can react to the elicitor with oxidative manifestations where reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generating. Glyphosate acts as a competitive inhibitor of enolpiruvyl shiquimate-3- phosphate synthase in the shikimate metabolic pathway and its immediately effect is the inhibition of aromatic aminoacids synthesis and secondaries metabolites derived for phenylpropanoids components. ROS generation and response mechanisms to the oxidative stress is not frequently studied in glyphosate applications, although the present work objectives are study and evaluate biochemistry parameters that could be affect by glyphosate herbicide in susceptible and resistant (transgenic) "varieties" giving emphasis in the antioxidant enzymes response and amino acids balance. Two experiments were set up to evaluate the effect of glyphosate in plants of two soybean lines growing under hydroponic conditions and the second experiment evaluated the time effect after application of glyphosate in four soybean lines, susceptible and two resistant (transgenic). Enhancement of asparagine, glutamate, hystidine and isoleucine in leaves, and the total contents of soluble amino acids were lower in resistant lines. This tendency to the increase of antioxidant enzymes like catalase in roots, peroxidases and gluthatione reductase in leaves indicates defense mechanisms activated against ROS. Nevertheless, lipid peroxidation levels were not changed in all lines. The present work shows evidences for oxidative stress generating by glyphosate but it is necessary to consider that the glyphosate action mode does not occur through the EROs generating mechanisms. These mechanisms could be masked by enhancement of amino acid.
