The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between the chilling resistance of rubber trees and the bark-bleeding characteristics caused by chilling stress, considering physiological indicators in rubber tree bark, cell wall chemical components, fiber morphologies, and tensile properties. This offered a unique perspective for examining the underlying mechanisms of latex bleeding and chilling stress in Hevea brasiliensis. One-year-old seedlings and two-year-old twig segments in five- and twenty-one-year-old rubber trees (5YB and 21YB) were used to compare the age-mediation differences in their various parameters. Meanwhile, the LT50 values were calculated with Logistic regression analysis of relative electrical conductivity (REC) data under gradient low temperatures. Subsequently, changes in corresponding parameters of 1-year-old seedling stem bark at different ages were determined, and the bark-bleeding characteristics of seedlings and twig segments were analyzed under artificially simulated chilling stress, respectively. A correlation analysis between semi-lethal temperature (LT50) values, relative water content (RWC) values, bark-bleeding characteristics, cell-wall chemical component contents, fiber dimensions, and tensile property parameters was implemented to estimate interrelationships among them. The LT50 values ranged from −2.0387 °C to −0.8695 °C. The results showed that the chilling resistance order of rubber trees at different ages was as follows: 21YB (2-year-old twig bark from 21-year-old rubber trees) > 5YB (2-year-old twig bark from 5-year-old rubber trees) > SLB (semi-lignification bark in 1-year-old seedlings) > GB (green bark in 1-year-old seedlings). The chilling resistance of seedlings and twig segments in rubber trees was highly positively (p < 0.001) related to fiber morphologies. Chilling-induced bark-bleeding characteristics were significantly correlated (p < 0.001) with fiber morphologies, bark tensile properties, and cell-wall components. The analysis data in this study contribute towards building a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of chilling-induced bark bleeding needed not only in rubber tree cultivation but also in sustainable rubber production.
The Camellia nitidissima C.W. Chi, a globally endangered species, is classified as a first-class protected plant in China. Given the potential impact of climate change on the distribution of species on a larger scale, it is crucial to understand the responses of C. nitidissima to this phenomenon for resource protection and sustainable utilization. Based on the existing records of C. nitidissima and multi-source remote sensing data, the optimal MaxEnt model was used to predict the potential habitat of C. nitidissima in both current and future periods. The results indicate that November average maximum temperature(Tx11) is the dominant factor. Under current climate conditions, the potential habitat of C. nitidissima is primarily located in the humid and hot coastal areas of southern China. Under future climate scenarios, the distribution range of C. nitidissima will initially increase, then decrease and finally increase again in correlation with radiation intensity. Comprehensive analysis reveals that under the background of global climate change, there remain significant challenges for the survival and reproduction of C. nitidissima in China. Appropriate protection and utilization measures can be implemented based on its migration trends to ensure the continuity of C. nitidissima habitats.
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), extensively cultivated in tropical regions, is a primary source of natural rubber. With increasing global demand for natural rubber, precise monitoring of cultivation dynamics of rubber plantations is crucial for regional economic development and ecosystem assessment. However, the significant spatial variability in rubber plantation phenology, interference from non-rubber deciduous forests, and cloud-free optical imagery limitations create considerable uncertainty in applying existing monitoring methods across varying latitudes. This study leverages extensive field surveys and over 30 years of Landsat/Sentinel-2 data to analyze the land use changes, growth processes in rubber seedling stages, and phenological changes during mature stages of rubber plantations. We developed a novel, high-precision identification and stand age estimation algorithm for rubber plantations on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform, integrating multi-temporal remote sensing data, machine learning, and advanced algorithm optimization. Applications of this algorithm in countries with complex terrain and climate, such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar, demonstrate higher robustness and accuracy. Ground data validation shows that the overall classification accuracy exceeds 95%, with an average stand age estimation error of less than two years. Spatial statistical analysis at 30-meter resolution aligns closely with data from authoritative sources like the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC), underscoring our method's effectiveness and reliability. Beyond mapping distribution and stand age structures of rubber plantations, this research supports future natural rubber production forecasts, environmental impact assessments, and sustainable policy development. Moreover, this study paves the way for novel applications of remote sensing in the monitoring of agriculture and forestry in tropical areas, setting a foundation for future advancements and innovations in these domains.

Rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) serve as the primary source of natural rubber. Their native habitat is characterized by warm and humid conditions, so they are particularly sensitive to low temperatures. Under such stress, latex burst can cause severe damage to rubber trees, which is due to the uniqueness of their economically productive parts. In order to establish a correlation between young and mature rubber trees and provide a novel prospective for investigating the mechanisms of latex burst and chilling resistance in rubber trees, the chlorophyll contents, photosynthesis, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in four varieties of one-year-old rubber tree seedlings were analyzed under artificially simulated chilling stress. The latex burst characteristics were subsequently recorded. A comprehensive statistical analysis of the chilling-resistance rank was conducted using the membership function method and the combination weighting method. Meanwhile, chemical compositions and tensile properties of barks from two-year-old twigs of mature rubber trees were ascertained. A correlation analysis between chilling resistance, chemical compositions, and tensile properties was performed to identify any interrelationships among them. The results showed that the number and the total area of latex-burst positions in variety Reken628 seedlings were greater than those in other varieties, and the lowest number and total area of latex-burst positions were observed in variety RRIM600 and variety PR107, respectively. With the exception of variety GT1, nectar secretion was noted in all other varieties of rubber tree seedlings under chilling stress. The chilling resistance of the four varieties decreased in the following order: variety GT1 > variety RRIM600 > variety PR107 > variety Reken628. The chilling resistance was strongly (p < 0.001) negatively correlated with cellulose content and acid-insoluble lignin content, respectively. The total area of latex burst was significantly (p < 0.001) and positively correlated with holocellulose content and maximum load, respectively. Furthermore, this study also provides new insights into the mechanism of nectar secretion induced by low temperatures and its association with the chilling resistance of rubber trees.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity severely restricts crop growth and productivity in acidic soils. The rubber tree is one of the most economically important crops in tropical regions, which is tolerant to high concentrations of Al in sand or hydroponic culture conditions compared with other plants that have been reported. However, the mechanisms of Al tolerance in rubber trees remain unknown. In this study, we conducted a transcriptome and metabolome analysis for rubber tree sapling roots treated with 200 mM Al for 0 (CK), 2 or 5 days, respectively. Compared with the CK, a total of 9534 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 3821 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were identified in 2 d of Al treatment. There were 10,373 DEGs and 4636 DEMs after 5 d of Al treatment, and 1626 DEGs and 1674 DEMs between 2 and 5 d of Al treatment. The DEGs mainly concentrated in transporters, transcription factors (TFs), cell wall biosynthesis and antioxidant systems, and the DEMs were mainly focused on lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids and derivatives, organic oxygen compounds, phenylpropanoids and polyketides. The combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis indicated DEGs and DEMs involved in ABC transporters, glutathione metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolic pathways were identified to be closely associated with the Al tolerance of rubber trees. Our study elucidated the mechanism of rubber trees’ tolerance to Al at the transcriptional and metabolic levels, which provides a theoretical basis for the study of Al tolerance both for rubber trees and other woody plants.

Secretion and efflux of oxalic acid from roots is an important aluminum detoxification mechanism for various plants; however, how this process is completed remains unclear. In this study, the candidate oxalate transporter gene AtOT, encoding 287 amino acids, was cloned and identified from Arabidopsis thaliana. AtOT was upregulated in response to aluminum stress at the transcriptional level, which was closely related to aluminum treatment concentration and time. The root growth of Arabidopsis was inhibited after knocking out AtOT, and this effect was amplified by aluminum stress. Yeast cells expressing AtOT enhanced oxalic acid resistance and aluminum tolerance, which was closely correlated with the secretion of oxalic acid by membrane vesicle transport. Collectively, these results underline an external exclusion mechanism of oxalate involving AtOT to enhance oxalic acid resistance and aluminum tolerance.

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.) plantations are among the most critical agricultural ecosystems in tropical regions, playing a vital role in regional carbon balance. Accurate large-scale biomass estimation for these plantations remains a challenging task due to the severe signal saturation problem. Recent advances in remote sensing big data, cloud platforms, and machine learning have facilitated the precise acquisition of key physiological variables, such as stand age (A) and canopy height (H), which are critical parameters for biomass estimation but have been underutilized in prior studies. Using Hainan Island—the second-largest rubber planting base in China—as a case study, we integrated extensive ground surveys, maps of stand age and canopy height, remote sensing indicators (RSIs), and geographical and climate indicators (ECIs) to ascertain the optimal method for estimating rubber plantation biomass. We compared different inputs and estimation approaches (direct and indirect) using the random forest algorithm and analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of rubber plantation biomass on Hainan Island. The results indicated that the traditional model (RSIs + ECIs) had low accuracy and significant estimation bias (R2 = 0.24, RMSE = 38.36 mg/ha). The addition of either stand age or canopy height considerably enhance model accuracy (R2 = 0.77, RMSE ≈ 21.12 mg/ha). Moreover, incorporating the DBH obtained through indirect inversion yielded even greater predictive accuracy (R2 = 0.97, RMSE = 7.73 mg/ha), outperforming estimates derived from an allometric equation model input with the DBH (R2 = 0.67, RMSE = 25.43 mg/ha). However, augmenting the model with stand age, canopy height, or their combination based on RSIs, ECIs, and DBH only marginally improved the accuracy. Consequently, it is not recommended in scenarios with limited data and computing resources. Employing the optimal model, we generated biomass maps of rubber plantations on Hainan Island for 2016 and 2020, revealing that the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of the biomass is closely associated with the establishment year of the rubber plantations. While average biomass in a few areas has undergone slight decreases, total biomass has exhibited significant growth, reaching 5.46 × 107 mg by the end of 2020, underscoring its considerable value as a carbon sink.
Understanding the status and changes of plant diversity in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations is essential for sustainable plantation management in the context of rapid rubber expansion in the tropics, but remains very limited at the continental scale. In this study, we investigated plant diversity from 10-meter quadrats in 240 different rubber plantations in the six countries of the Great Mekong Subregion (GMS)-where nearly half of the world's rubber plantations are located-and analyzed the influence of original land cover types and stand age on plant diversity using Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery since the late 1980s. The results indicate that the average plant species richness of rubber plantations is 28.69 ± 7.35 (1061 species in total, of which 11.22 % are invasive), approximating half the species richness of tropical forests but roughly double that of the intensively managed croplands. Time-series satellite imagery analysis revealed that rubber plantations were primarily established in place of cropland (RPC, 37.72 %), old rubber plantations (RPORP, 27.63 %), and tropical forests (RPTF, 24.12 %). Plant species richness in RPTF (34.02 ± 7.62) was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than that in RPORP (26.41 ± 7.02) and RPC (26.34 ± 5.37). More importantly, species richness can be maintained for the duration of the 30-year economic cycle, and the number of invasive species decreases as the stand ages. Given diverse land conversions and changes in stand age, the total loss of species richness due to rapid rubber expansion in the GMS was 7.29 %, which is far below the traditional estimates that only consider tropical forest conversion. In general, maintaining higher species richness at the earliest stages of cultivation has significant implications for biodiversity conservation in rubber plantations.

P proteins encoded by SEOs (sieve element occlusion) have been shown to be associated with the blockage of sieve tubes after injury in many plants, but the presence of SEO genes and their association with rubber tree laticifer plugging and latex yield remain unclear. Through a systematic identification and analysis, seven SEO genes were identified from the rubber tree genome. The physicochemical properties of their proteins, gene structures, conserved domains, and locations on chromosomes were analyzed. According to their phylogenetic distance, HbSEOs were divided into two clusters. The transcript levels of HbSEO genes varied with tissues, in which HbSEO3 and HbSEO4 were most highly expressed in leaf, bark, and latex. HbSEOs could be induced by ethephon, methyl jasmonate, mechanical injury, and tapping; furthermore, they were highly expressed in trees with short flow duration, suggesting their possible association with rubber tree laticifer plugging and latex yield. To our knowledge, this is the first report of HbSEOs in rubber trees. It provides us with a better understanding of the mechanism of laticifer plugging.

Secretion of oxalic acid from roots is an important aluminum detoxification mechanism for many plants such as Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree). However, the underlying molecular mechanism and oxalate transporter genes in plants have not yet been reported. In this study, the oxalate transporter candidate genes HbOT1 and HbOT2 from the rubber tree were cloned and preliminarily identified. It was found that HbOT1 had a full length of 1163 bp with CDS size of 792 bp, encoding 263 amino acids, and HbOT2 had a full length of 1647 bp with a CDS region length of 840 bp, encoding 279 amino acid residues. HbOT1 and HbOT2 were both stable hydrophobic proteins with transmembrane structure and SNARE_assoc domains, possibly belonging to the SNARE_assoc subfamily proteins of the SNARE superfamily. qRT-PCR assays revealed that HbOT1 and HbOT2 were constitutively expressed in different tissues, with HbOT1 highly expressed in roots, stems, barks, and latex, while HbOT2 was highly expressed in latex. In addition, the expressions of HbOT1 and HbOT2 were up-regulated in response to aluminum stress, and they were inducible by metals, such as copper and manganese. Heterologous expression of HbOT1 and HbOT2 in the yeast mutant AD12345678 enhanced the tolerance to oxalic acid and high concentration aluminum stress, which was closely correlated with the secretion of oxalic acid. This study is the first report on oxalate transporter genes in plants, which provides a theoretical reference for the study on the molecular mechanism of oxalic acid secretion to relieve aluminum toxicity and on aluminum-tolerance genetic engineering breeding.
以橡胶树热研7-33-97芽接苗为材料,比较低温胁迫下市售、复配割面涂封剂处理对叶片叶绿素含量、光合作用及光化学效率的影响,以期为橡胶树新型割面涂封剂研发及抗寒机制研究提供理论依据.结果表明,低温胁迫导致叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)下降,实际光化学效率(ΦPSⅡ)水平先升高后下降;低温胁迫1 d,以25 mg/L脱落酸、0.05 g/L壳聚糖、8.0 g/L CaCl2为主成分的复配割面涂封剂处理比市售割面涂封剂处理及对照的橡胶树叶片的 ΦPSⅡ分别高出37.90%、80.29%,差异达到极显著水平(P<0.01);低温胁迫4 d,复配涂封剂处理比市售割面涂封剂处理及对照的橡胶树叶片的叶绿素a含量、叶绿素b含量和叶绿素总量分别高出23.49%、21.78%、23.07%和29.91%、26.04%、28.96%,差异均达到极显著水平(P<0.01);低温胁迫7 d,复配涂封剂处理比市售割面涂封剂处理及对照的橡胶树叶片的Pn、Gs、Ci、Tr、Fv/Fm高出74.53%、847.41%、90.94%、1617.80%、6.57%和145.39%、7700.23%、229.02%、18009.72%、14.46%,差异达到显著或极显著水平.综合分析可知,复配割面涂封剂能够缓解由低温导致的橡胶树芽接苗叶片叶绿素含量、Pn、Gs、Ci、Tr、Fv/Fm及ΦPSⅡ的下降幅度,可以在一定程度上避免低温胁迫对光合系统的伤害,维持叶片光合能力及PSⅡ反应中心活性,有效缓解低温对橡胶树芽接苗的胁迫,提高其抗寒性.
