Recently, it was demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) and cGMP are involved in the auxin response during the adventitious rooting process in cucumber (Cucumis sativus; Pagnussat et al., 2002, 2003). However, not much is known about the complex molecular network operating during the cell proliferation and morphogenesis triggered by auxins and NO in that proces. Anatomical studies snowed that formation of adventitious root primordia was clearly detected in indole acetic acid (IAA)- and NO-treate...
