Abstract

Cotton growing, being an important agro-industrial object, is being improved through the introduction of new mechanisms to increase resistance to various external stress factors. Taking into account the previously studied phytohormones, the purpose of our study was to identify the effect of the salicylic acid derivative, dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA), on the biochemical processes in the common cotton AP-317 genotype. It was established that low concentrations of DNSA-0.01 mM decreased production of NO radical, catalase and PPO activity, as well as absorption of phosphorus-anions from the nutrient medium, while higher doses of them has led to the stimulation of NO radical production, increased peroxidase activity, stabilized absorption of phosphorus anions. It was also found that at low concentrations of DNSA took place slightly activation of SOD activity, but not at relatively high concentration of DNSA. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis of the root and leaf tissue of the plant showed an increase in the concentration of magnesium and iron ions when exposed to DNSA. It was also found that DNSA increased the concentration of lipid peroxide radicals at 0.1 mM in both tissues.
