However, the pplition of phytoremeition tehnology is still very limite ue to low iomss of hyperumultors. Thus, seletive reeing for these hyperumultors is the nee of the hour in orer to selet -tolernt ultivrs. otton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is n importnt sh rop in the worl, eing use for nturl fier n eile oil.

Keeping in view of the ner unvilility of the relte informtion out physiologil n iohemil responses of the otton rop uner stress, we esigne the present reserh stuies. The ojetives of the stuy were: (1) to fin out the possile toxi effets of on otton; () to etermine the quntity n plnt prts of umultion; () to stuy the mehnism of phytoremeition of 7

There were no sttistil ifferenes for Tr n Gs mong the tretment in the three ultivrs, lthough some vritions on Tr n Gs were foun mong the ifferent tretments n ifferent genotypes t the ifferent plnt evelopment stges, shown in Figure 1(-I). nzyme ssy n estimtion of lipi peroxies mium n inrese the proution of retive oxygen speies (ROS) in ells, whih n e extremely hrmful to plnts t high onentrtions (Snlio et l., 1). To protet themselves ginst ROS, plnt ells hve evelope ntioxitive mehnisms. In this experiment, the tivities of ntioxint enzymes were ssye in orer to evlute the efensive pilities ginst stress, shown in Figure (-L). ompre with their respetive ontrols, the tivity of peroxise (PO) grully inrese with n inrese in levels in SGK.

The tivity of superoxie ismutse (SO) inrese t n μm for TM-1 n SGK, n then erese t μm t ll growth stges, while Z-9 showe n inverse tren t the uing stge ompre with its ontrol. Superoxie ismutse is the first mjor ntioxint enzyme in the etoxifying proess s it rpily onverts superoxie rils into H O (Tnyolç et l., 7). The results from this stuy were in greement with the finings of hm et l.
