By taking into consideration the present investigation is being done to know about cytotoxic potentials of the polluted water using in vivo bioassay and to study the impact of pollution on genetic systems of the inhabitant plant species. The results has shown that chromosome abnormality increases with increase in concentration of pollutants and plants growing in polluted water showed meiotic abnormality including laggard, stickiness, vagarant etc. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
