The arsenic (As) influence on the relative growth rate (TCR) and on the antioxidant system of four leguminous species: Leucocephala leucocephala, Sesbania grandiflora (woody), Cajanus cajan and Crotalaria spectabilis (shrub), it was evaluated, as well as, the accumulation of this element for these species. After the exhibition of these species to the As, in nutritious solution, they were appraised TCR and the enzymatic activity of the enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) and the accumulation of As for the same ones. Of the woody species, S. grandiflora showed minor influences of the As on TCR, besides presenting larger accumulation of this element than L. leucocephala. The largest tolerance presented by S. grandiflora can be related to efficient of the antioxidant system of the same. S. grandiflora, when cultivated in nutritious solution without addition of As, it presented the largest activities of the enzymes SOD, CAT, POX and GR than L. leucocephala. In the presence of As, S. grandiflora presented increment in the activity of SOD, of CAT and of POX and, L. leucocephala presented increment in the activity of SOD and of GR. Of the shrub species, C. spectabilis introduced minor influences of the As on TCR, same presenting larger concentration of this element, that C. cajan. The largest tolerance presented by C. spectabilis to the As, it should be related to the efficient antioxidant system presented by this species. C. spectabilis, when cultivated in solution containing As, it presented increment in the activity of the enzymes SOD, CAT, POX and APX, while C. cajan presented reduction in the activity of these same enzymes. In spite of other studies they be necessary to know better the mechanisms of tolerance to the As, S. grandiflora (woody) and C. spectabilis (shrub) they seem to have larger potentials for use in revegetation programs of polluted areas with As.
