Effect of HRW, SNP, LI SNP, cPTIO, L-NAME and NaN3 on adventitious root development in cucumber explants. The primary root system was removed from hypocotyls of 5-day-old germinated cucumber. Explants of cucumber were incubated with 50 % HRW, 50 μM SNP, 50 μM LI SNP, light-inactivated sodium nitroprusside, 200 μM cPTIO, 30 μM L-NAME or 10 μM NaN3 as indicated for 5 days. Adventitious root number (a) and length (b) were expressed as mean ± SE (n = 3). 10 explants was used in an independent experiment. Bars not sharing the same letters were significantly different by Duncan’s test (P < 0.05). Photographs (c) were taken after 5 days of treatment. Bar = 5 cm
