Effects of different concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) on adventitious root development in cucumber explants. The primary roots were removed from hypocotyl of five-day-old seedlings. The explants were incubated for three days with different concentration of NaCl after two days of distilled water culture. The numbers (A) and root length (B) of adventitious root were expressed as mean ± SE (n = 3, 10 explants were used per replicate). Bars with different lowercase letters were significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test (P < 0.05).
