TI  - Abscisic Acid Induces Adventitious Rooting in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by 
      Enhancing Sugar Synthesis.

AB  - Abscisic acid (ABA) affects many important plant processes, such as seed 
      germination, root elongation and stomatal movement. However, little information 
      is available about the relationship between ABA and sugar synthesis during 
      adventitious root formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 
      ABA on adventitious root formation in cucumber and whether the effect of this 
      plant hormone on sugar synthesis could be included as a causative factor for 
      adventitious root development. We determined the contents of glucose, sucrose, 
      starch, total sugar and sugar-related enzymes, including sucrose synthase (SS), 
      sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), hexokinase (HK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) 
      activities in ABA treatment. We also quantified the relative expression of 
      sucrose or glucose synthesis genes during this process. Increasing ABA 
      concentrations significantly improved adventitious root formation, with the most 
      considerable effect at 0.05 muM. Compared to the control, ABA treatment showed 
      higher glucose, sucrose, starch and total sugar contents. Moreover, ABA treatment 
      increased glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and 
      glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) contents in cucumber explants during adventitious root 
      development, which was followed by an increase of activities of sucrose-related 
      enzymes SS and SPS, glucose-related enzymes HK and PK. ABA, meanwhile, 
      upregulated the expression levels of sucrose or glucose synthesis-related genes, 
      including CsSuSy1, CsSuSy6, CsHK1 and CsHK3. These results suggest that ABA may 
      promote adventitious root development by increasing the contents of glucose, 
      sucrose, starch, total sugar, G6P, F6P and G1P, the activities of SS, SPS, HK, 
      SPS and the expression levels of CsSuSy1, CsSuSy6, CsHK1 and CsHK3 genes. These 
      findings provide evidence for the physiological role of ABA during adventitious 
      root formation and provide a new understanding of the possible relationship 
      between ABA and sugar synthesis during adventitious rooting in plants.
