Previous investigations identified velvet bentgrass (Agrostis canina L.) as having higher drought resistance among bentgrass species. This study was designed to determine whether species variation in drought resistance for colonial bentgrass (A. capillaris L.), creeping bentgrass (A. stolonifera L.), and velvet bentgrass was associated with differences in antioxidant enzyme levels in response to drought. Plants of ‘Tiger II’ colonial bentgrass, ‘L-93’ creeping bentgrass, and ‘Greenwich’ velvet bentgrass were maintained in a growth chamber under two watering treatments: 1) well-watered control and 2) irrigation completely withheld for 28 d (drought stress). Prolonged drought stress caused oxidative damage in all three bentgrass species as exhibited by a general decline in antioxidant enzyme activities and an increase in lipid peroxidation. Compared among the three species, velvet bentgrass maintained antioxidant enzyme activities for a greater duration of drought treatment compared with both colonial bentgrass and creeping bentgrass. Higher antioxidant enzyme capacity for velvet bentgrass was associated with less lipid peroxidation and higher turf quality, leaf relative water content, and photochemical efficiency for a greater duration of stress compared with colonial bentgrass and creeping bentgrass. These results suggest that bentgrass resistance to drought stress could be associated with higher oxidative scavenging ability, especially for velvet bentgrass.
