Studies on the histology and on effects of growth substancesand phenols as well as changes in activities of pectinmethylesterase indicated that the mechanism of abscission of Hevealeaflets infected with Microcyclus ulei differed from the mechanismof abscission of debladed, ethylene treated and senescent leaves.An abscission layer which was formed during abscission of debladed,ethylene-treated and senescent leaves was absent during abscissionof heavily diseased leaves. The ratio of pectinmethyl esteraseactivities in tissues distal to the abscission zone to activitiesin tissues proximal to the zone decreased in debladed and ethylenetreated leaves but such decreases were not detected during abscissionof Hevea leaves infected with M. ulei.

The latex of Hevea brasiliensis, expelled upon bark tapping, is the cytoplasm of anastomosed latex cells in the inner bark of the rubber tree. Latex regeneration between two tappings is one of the major limiting factors of rubber yield. Hevea species contain high amounts of cyanogenic glucosides from which cyanide is released when the plant is damaged providing an efficient defense mechanism against herbivores. In H. brasiliensis, the cyanogenic glucosides mainly consist of the monoglucoside linamarin (synthesized in the leaves), and its diglucoside transport-form, linustatin. Variations in leaf cyanide potential (CNp) were studied using various parameters. Results showed that the younger the leaf, the higher the CNp. Leaf CNp greatly decreased when leaves were directly exposed to sunlight. These results allowed us to determine the best leaf sampling conditions for the comparison of leaf CNp. Under these conditions, leaf CNp was found to vary from less than 25 mM to more than 60 mM. The rubber clones containing the highest leaf CNp were those with the highest yield potential. In mature virgin trees, the CNp of the trunk inner bark was shown to be proportional to leaf CNp and to decrease on tapping. However, the latex itself exhibited very low (if any) CNp, while harboring all the enzymes (β-d-diglucosidase, linamarase and β-cyanoalanine synthase) necessary to metabolize cyanogenic glucosides to generate non-cyanogenic compounds, such as asparagine. This suggests that in the rubber tree bark, cyanogenic glucosides may be a source of buffering nitrogen and glucose, thereby contributing to latex regeneration/production. 相似文献

Actin microfilaments of laticiferous cells and bark wounds in Hevea brasiliensis were studied using TRITC-phalloidin fluorescent microscopy. Actin in latex from mature rubber trees was also investigated using SDS-PAGE and western-boltting. TRITC-fluorescent substance plugged the end of laticifers when latex flow stopped. Actin was detected only in C serum among the four latex fractions. Higher actin content was found in the latex collected at the beginning of tapping than in that collected just before latex flow stopped. Lower actin content was detected in the latex from rubber trees with more intensive exploitation. The present study indicated that actin microfilaments might play an important role in regulation of latex flow and plugging of the laticifers wounds. 相似文献

Detailed studies have been made on the structure of the barkof ten Hevea clones and the clonal variabilities with regardto the density and size of ray groups, density of laticifersper row per unit circumference of the tree, diameter of laticifersand the extent of connection between laticifers. Clonal variabilitywas highly significant with regard to the density of ray groups,ray height, ray width in the laticifer layer and the laticifercharacters. The influence of ray characters on the orientationof laticifers and thereby its quantity is discussed. The scopeof using anatomical parameters for clone identification is examined.

A study was carried out to estimate the distance Hevea brasiliensispollen could be dispersed under natural conditions. Seeds werecollected at varying distances from the boundary between twoadjacent fields that were each planted with a pure stand ofa genetic clone. Esterase isozyme markers were used to determineif the seeds had been derived from self- or cross-pollination.The incidence of cross-pollination was then examined in relationto the distance from the inter-clonal boundary. A logarithmicmodel gave the best fit (r2=0.864) and suggested that pollencould travel distances in the order of 0.3 to 1.1 km.

Phellogen Regeneration in Injured Peach Tree Bark 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Injury to peach bark phellogen leads to the generation of newtissues and the re-establishment of meristematic continuity.Two types of tissue changes after wounding were identified andquantified in bark of seven peach clones: (1) cell wall modifications(lignification and suberization) of tissues present at the timeof wounding, and (2) generation of the new phellogen and itsderivatives. Tissue responses were quantified with a microscopephotometer using selective histochemistry and autofluorescenceto detect lignin and suberin deposition over time. Suberin continuitywas re-established via suberin deposition in a layer of cells,present at the time of wounding, approximately 800 µminternal to the wound surface. Phellogen continuity was re-establishedimmediately internal to and abutting the suberized tissue. Thenew phellogen gave rise to suberized phellem which, in its outwardexpansion, crushed the suberized boundary zone tissue formedearlier. All injured peach clones produced the same sequenceof tissue changes, although timing and degree of response variedwith clone and time of year.

Stomatal size and frequency as well as structure and distributionof leaf waxes were compared in seedlings of two varieties ofTheobroma cacao and three families of Hevea brasiliensis. Stomataof both species were located on the abaxial leaf surface only.The stomata of Theobroma averaged 45% shorter and 29% narrowerthan those of Hevea, but stomatal frequency was 44% higher inTheobroma. Stomatal size and frequency differed more among Heveafamilies than between Theobroma varieties. The structure ofthe leaf waxes of Theobroma and Hevea differed appreciably.It also varied greatly between the abaxial and adaxial leafsurfaces of Hevea, but only slightly in Theobroma. The structureof leaf waxes varied little between Theobroma varieties or amongHevea families. Leaf conductances and transpiration rates weremuch higher in Hevea than in Theobroma seedlings. The implicationsof water relations in interplanting of Theobroma and Hevea arediscussed.

Natural rubber is synthesized in laticifers in the inner liber of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Upon bark tapping, the latex is expelled due to liber turgor pressure. The mature laticifers are devoid of plasmodesmata; therefore a corresponding decrease in the total latex solid content is likely to occur due to water influx inside the laticifers. Auxins and ethylene used as efficient yield stimulants in mature untapped rubber trees, but, bark treatments with abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) could also induce a transient increase latex yield. We recently reported that there are three aquaporin genes, HbPIP2;1, HbTIP1;1 and HbPIP1;1, that are regulated differentially after ethylene bark treatment. HbPIP2;1 was up-regulated in both the laticifers and the inner liber tissues, whereas HbTIP1;1 was up-regulated in the latex cells, but very markedly down-regulated in the inner liber tissues. Conversely, HbPIP1;1 was down-regulated in both tissues. In the present study, HbPIP2;1 and HbTIP1;1 showed a similar expression in response to auxin, ABA and SA, as seen in ethylene stimulation, while HbPIP1;1 was slightly regulated by auxin, but neither by ABA nor SA. The analysis of the HbPIP1;1 promoter region indicated the presence of only ethylene and auxin responsive elements. In addition, the poor efficiency of this HbPIP1;1 in increasing plasmalemma water conductance was confirmed in Xenopus oocytes. Thus, an increase in latex yield in response to all of these hormones was proposed to be the major function of aquaporins, HbPIP2;1 and HbTIP1;1. This study emphasized that the circulation of water between the laticifers and their surrounding tissues that result in latex dilution, as well as the probable maintenance of the liber tissues turgor pressure, favor the prolongation of latex flow. 相似文献

The treatment of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) bark with chloro-2-ethyl phosphonic acid (ethrel), an ethylene-releasing chemical, induced, after a lag period of 13 to 21 hours, a marked increase in the total adenine nucleotides (essentially ATP and ADP) of latex cells. This rise in the latex adenylate pool was concomitant with a marked decrease in the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio without significant changes in the adenylate energy charge. The apparent equilibrium constant for the adenylate kinase, which appeared to behave as a key enzyme in maintaining the adenylate energy charge in the latex, was considerably reduced, probably as a consequence of the alkalinization of the latex cytosol induced by the treatment with ethrel. To reduce the “sink effect” and activation of the metabolism induced in Hevea bark by regular tapping, the latex was collected by micropuncture (few drops) at increasing distance (5-50 centimeters) above and below an ethrel-treated area on the virgin bark of resting trees. The effect of ethrel was shown to spread progressively along the trunk. The increase in the adenylate pool (essentially ATP) was detectable as early as 24 hours after the bark treatment and was maximum after 6 or 8 days, 5 centimeters as well as 50 centimeters above and below the stimulated bark ring. The correlative vacuolar acidification and cytosolic alkalinization, i.e. the increase in the transtonoplast ΔpH, induced in the latex cells by ethrel were shown to be concomitant with the rise in ATP content of the latex. This suggests that the tonoplast H+-pumping ATPase, which catalyzes vacuolar acidification in the latex, is directly and essentially under the control of the availability of its substrate (i.e. ATP) in the latex. The results are discussed in relation to energy-dependent activation of metabolism, and increased rubber production, as induced by the stimulation of rubber trees with ethrel. 相似文献

Suspension cultures of Hevea brasiliensis cells can metabolizethe growth regulator 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid to producea number of compounds, one of which appears to be an acid-labileconjugate. The general metabolic pattern closely resembles thatfound previously using Hevea leaves. Evidence that the compoundsformed are not chromatographic artefacts of a type describedby other authors is presented. 相似文献

Natural rubber (cis-1,4 polyisoprene) is synthesised in the milky cytoplasm, the latex, of specialized cells called laticifers in the bark tissues of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Regeneration mechanism of latex after each tapping (controlled wounding of the bark) was studied in relation to lutoid membrane enzymes and protein synthesis in twelve rubber clones with varying yield potentials during the peak rubber yielding season. High activity of membrane enzymes and better availability of biochemical energy [ATP] were observed in clones viz; RRII 105, RRIM 600, PB 260, RRII 422 and RRII 430. The highest protein biosynthetic capacity was noticed in clone PB 260 and RRIM 600. However, high ATP content, increased invertase activity and protein biosynthesis were observed in the medium yielding clone GT1 compared to clones with low rubber yield potential. Very low sugar content and increased invertase activity in the latex of clone PB 260 indicated intense latex metabolism with high protein turnover that implies fast recouping of the cellular metabolites lost during latex harvesting. Clone PB 217 was characterized by very high sucrose and low ATP concentration and ATPase activity in latex indicating slow metabolism and hence be suitable for inducing latex metabolism using ethylene stimulant. Low rubber yielding clones such as RRII 33 and RRII 38 were consistently recorded a high sucrose content but very low activity of membrane enzymes, reduced ATP concentration and low protein biosynthesis in latex. Among the recently released modern clones (RRII 400 series), latex regeneration capacity was higher in RRII 422 and RRII 430. The significance of lutoid membrane transport and protein synthesis is discussed in relation to general latex metabolism of these rubber clones. The outcome of this study would be helpful to design suitable latex harvesting systems and yield stimulation methods for optimizing latex production in each clone based on metabolic profiling. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of cDNA encoding farnesyl diphosphate synthase from rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Commercially used natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is a secondary metabolite of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Previous studies have shown the involvement of a prenyl transferase in the final steps of natural rubber biosynthesis which includes polymerization of isopentenyl pyrophosphate into rubber. Using synthetic oligonucleotides corresponding to the partial amino acid sequences of this protein as probes to screen a laticifer-specific cDNA library, we have isolated a full-length cDNA which encodes a 47 kDa protein with strong homology to farnesyl diphosphate synthases from many species. The catalytic activity of this protein was confirmed by complementing the deletion yeast mutant. In Hevea, this gene is expressed in latex producing cells and in the epidermal region of the rubber plant suggesting a dual role for the protein in the biosyntheses of rubber and other isoprenoids. Although the expression level of this gene is not significantly affected by hormone treatment (e.g. ethylene), regeneration of latex due to tapping increases its expression level. 相似文献

Laticifer Differentiation in Hevea brasiliensis: Induction by Exogenous Jasmonic Acid and Linolenic Acid 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Laticifer differentiation of Hevea brasiliensis was investigatedby application of lanolin containing jasmonic acid (JA) or otherchemicals to the surface of young stems in epicormic shoots.The young stems had primary laticifers and no secondary laticifers.When applied to extending young stems, JA led to a significantincrease in primary laticifer number but did not induce secondarylaticifer differentiation. Secondary laticifer differentiationand a less significant increase in primary laticifer numberwere caused by JA application to the extended young stems. Theinduction of the secondary laticifers was dependent on the concentrationof JA applied. Cambium cell division leading to the formationof secondary phloem was not accelerated by JA treatment. Treatedbark tissues showed no visible changes except for the additionallaticifers, which were normal in ultrastructure. The secondarylaticifers were also induced by the application of linolenicacid, a precursor of JA biosynthesis. Abscisic acid, ethephonand salicylic acid had no detectable effect on laticifer differentiation.Copyright 2000 Annals of Botany Company Hevea brasiliensis, laticifer differentiation, jasmonic acid, linolenic acid, vascular cambium. 相似文献

Natural rubber, produced by coagulation of the latex from the tree Hevea brasiliensis, is an important biopolymer used in many applications for its outstanding properties. Besides polyisoprene, latex is rich in many nonisoprene components such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids and thereby constitutes a favourable medium for the development of micro‐organisms. The fresh rubber coagula obtained by latex coagulation are not immediately processed, allowing the development of various microbial communities. The time period between tree tapping and coagula processing is called maturation, during which an evolution of the properties of the corresponding dry natural rubber occurs. This evolution is partly related to the activity of micro‐organisms and to the modification of the biochemical composition. This review synthesizes the current knowledge on microbial populations in latex and natural rubber coagula of H. brasiliensis and the changes they induce on the biochemistry and technical properties of natural rubber during maturation. 相似文献
