degradation by increased ROS content. Chlorophyll loss was shown
to be accompanied by the damage of the mesophyll chloroplasts,
which led to a lower photosynthetic rate (Khalilzadeh et al., 2016).
The study reported by Zobiole et al. (2011) demonstrated that
Glyphosate signicantly
decreased chlorophyll content in soybean
compared with the non-glyphosate control. This decrease could be
due to direct damage of the chloroplast in the presence of glyphosate,
as plants from all maturity groups exposed to a single or sequential
application of glyphosate frequently had chlorophyll concentrations
lower than plants that were not exposed to this herbicide. It’s also
well known that a decrease in the chlorophyll content could be
due to a decrease in the stomata aperture, aimed at limiting water
losses by evaporation and by increased resistance to the entry of
atmospheric CO
2
necessary for photosynthesis (Zhu et al., 2016;
Enneb et al., 2020). Karabulut and Çanakcı (2021) showed that the
oxidative stress created by glyphosate treatment caused decrease in
chlorophyll (a+b). As well, Caglar et al. (2011) analyzed the eects
of the herbicide paraquat on chlorophyll content, observing that
bread wheat varieties after paraquat herbicide treatment decreased
chlorophyll content. Glyphosate sensitivity index (GSI) for the
examined durum wheat varied between 0.65-1.21, the dierences
among all genotypes tested were highly signicant (table 2). The
variety Boutaleb was observed as the most sensitive to oxidative
stress followed by Jupare C 2001. However, advanced line G5
recorded the lowest GSI thus appeared as the most tolerant to
oxidative stress. Based on the ranking for traits illustrated in table
2, genotypes G5 and Oued el bared were the best performing under
oxidative stress.
Electrolyte leakage
Plant membranes are subject to changes often associated with
increases in permeability and loss of integrity under environmental
stresses (Masoumi et al., 2010). Evaluation of cell damage degree
was accomplished for the ten genotypes using membrane stability
index: Electrolyte leakage has been recommended as a useful
criterion for the selection of stress-tolerant cultivars in several crop
species (Slama et al., 2018). Moreover, ion leakage has been used
as an ecient measure for the evaluation of the damage induced by
herbicide that aects the integrity of the membranes (Silva et al.,
2016). There was a signicant dierence in the amount of electrolyte
leakage (REL %) from leaf tissues for the genotypes tested, with
a mean of 64.8 % (table 3). Line G6 exhibited the lowest value
implying that this genotype was the most resistant under oxidative
stress and line G4 the most susceptible ones. The ability of cell
membranes to control the rate of ion movement in and out of cells is
used as a test of damage to a great range of tissues (Masoumi et al.,
2010). Glyphosate caused oxidative damage in plants and disturbed
cellular homeostasis of plants. Under oxidative stress production of
ROS increased, thus oxidizing lipids of membranes, and increasing
their permeability that leads to ion leakage (Sakya et al., 2018).
Conclusion
Oxidative damage induced by glyphosate herbicide aects the
physiological parameters of the examined durum wheat. Hence, these
parameters can be used as a criterion to select adapted genotypes to
oxidative stress. Our study revealed signicant variations among
the genotypes (P<0.05). The genotypes with the lowest velocity of
chlorophyll degradation and the lowest chlorophyll ratio yielded
the lowest sensitivity to oxidative stress. The advanced line G5
was recorded as the most tolerant to oxidative stress. Based on our
ndings, the highest value of injured cells was observed in advanced
line G4, while line G6 recorded the lowest, indicating that it could
maintain high membrane integrity during oxidative stress. We can
conclude that both advanced lines G5 and G6 are very suitable to
the growing conditions.
