摘要

This study examined the allelopathic interactions between twelve cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Datura stramonium under controlled laboratory conditions using the equal agar space method. The objectives were to evaluate the allelopathic potential of bean cultivars on Datura stramonium seedling growth and to assess the sensitivity of bean cultivars to allelochemicals released by Datura stramonium. Two reciprocal experiments were conducted: in the first, bean cultivars acted as allelochemical donors and Datura stramonium as the recipient; in the second, the roles were reversed. Growth parameters, including root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight, and antioxidant enzyme activities (peroxidase and catalase), were measured ten days after exposure. Significant genotypic variation was observed in both allelopathic potential and allelochemical tolerance. Most bean cultivars inhibited Datura stramonium growth, particularly root elongation and biomass accumulation. The ‘Khomein’ cultivar exhibited the strongest inhibitory effects (up to 45% reduction in root dry weight). Conversely, Datura stramonium allelopathy suppressed bean seedling growth and induced oxidative stress responses, reflected by increased antioxidant enzyme activity. The degree of sensitivity varied among cultivars, with ‘Khomein’ and ‘Uzbekistan’ showing high tolerance, while ‘Sadri’, ‘Naz’, and ‘China’ were the most affected. Cluster analysis grouped cultivars according to their allelopathic activity and tolerance level, confirming considerable genetic variability. Overall, the findings highlight ‘Khomein’ as a promising cultivar combining strong allelopathic potential with high tolerance to allelochemicals, suggesting its potential use in breeding programs and sustainable weed management strategies.
