Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants nodulated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Nitragin strain 61A118, were grown with or without the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus mosseae (Nicol. Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe in pot cultures in soil high (40.4 .mu.g/g) in available Mn. Leaves of the nonVAM plants showed severe symptoms of Mn toxicity and had toxic (314 .mu.g/g) concentrations of Mn in the foliage. NonVAM plants had significantly lower dry weights and nodule mass than VAM plants. Concentrations of Mn in the VAM plants, and there were no symptoms of Mn toxicity. Both VAM and nonVAM plants had a significant negative correlation between shoot dry mass and leaf Mn concentration. Since levels of Mn increased with increasing VAM-fungal colonization, we conclude that it was not the VAM condition per se which alleviated Mn toxicity. We suggest that the significantly higher levels of Mn in the leaves (P < 0.05) and the roots (P < 0.001) of nonVAM plants was due to increased uptake of Mn by the nonVAM plants. This exudation, which are generally observed in nonVAM plants, and to the role of such exudates in solubilizing MnO2 and chelating the resulting Mn2+ for facilitated absorption.
