The aim of this study was to compare catalase and RNase activities in Glycine max and Glycine soja exposed to CuSO₄ and ZnSO₄ at MPC and DMPC concentrations over a period of 24-168 hours. Glycine soja was shown to possess a higher adaptive potential. Species-specific multiple enzyme forms were identified: K1 in Glycine soja and P12 in Glycine max. The tolerance limits of Glycine soja were noted at 24, 72, and 120 hours; in Glycine max, they varied depending on the toxicant and dose. Catalase and RNase activities can be used as complementary biomarkers of soybean adaptation to heavy metal toxicity. ER -
