Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the toxic effects of caesium (Cs) on Triticum aestivum (Ibtissam) and Triticum durum (Nachit), focusing on seed germination, root and shoot growth, and overall growth parameters. Cs exposure significantly impairs growth, with dose-dependent reductions in germination, root and shoot lengths, and fresh/dry weights. Notably, T. durum shows greater resilience to Cs stress than T. aestivum, maintaining better growth at higher Cs levels. The differing tolerance suggests T. durum may have more effective mechanisms to mitigate Cs toxicity. These findings highlight wheat’s sensitivity to Cs and T. durum’s potential for cultivation in contaminated soils. This research enhances understanding of Cs toxicity in wheat and offers insights for developing Cs-tolerant crops and better soil management practices.
