Low temperature remarkably limits rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) growth, latex production, and geographical distribution, but the underlying mechanisms of Hevea brasiliensis cold stress response remain elusive. Here, we identified HbSnRK2.6 as a key component in ABA signaling functions in phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA)-regulated cold stress response in Hevea brasiliensis. Exogenous application of ABA enhances Hevea brasiliensis cold tolerance. Cold-regulated (COR) genes in the CBF pathway are upregulated by ABA. Transcript levels of all five HbSnRK2.6 members are significantly induced by cold, while HbSnRK2.6A, HbSnRK2.6B, and HbSnRK2.6C can be further activated by ABA under cold conditions. Additionally, HbSnRK2.6s are localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and can physically interact with HbICE2, a crucial positive regulator in the cold signaling pathway. Overexpression of HbSnRK2.6A or HbSnRK2.6B in Arabidopsis extensively enhances plant responses to ABA and expression of COR genes, leading to increased cold stress tolerance. Furthermore, HbSnRK2.6A and HbSnRK2.6B can promote transcriptional activity of HbICE2, thus, increasing the expression of HbCBF1. Taken together, we demonstrate that HbSnRK2.6s are involved in ABA-regulated cold stress response in Hevea brasiliensis by regulating transcriptional activity of HbICE2.

Previous studies have reported that low temperature (LT) constrains plant growth and restricts productivity in temperate regions. However, the underlying mechanisms are complex and not well understood. Over the past ten years, research on the process of adaptation and tolerance of plants during cold stress has been carried out. In molecular terms, researchers prioritize research into the field of the ICE-CBF-COR signaling pathway which is believed to be the important key to the cold acclimation process. Inducer of CBF Expression (ICE) is a pioneer of cold acclimation and plays a central role in C-repeat binding (CBF) cold induction. CBFs activate the expression of COR genes via binding to cis-elements in the promoter of COR genes. An ICE-CBF-COR signaling pathway activates the appropriate expression of downstream genes, which encodes osmoregulation substances. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of cold stress tolerance in plants from molecular and physiological perspectives and other factors, such as hormones, light, and circadian clock. Understanding the process of cold stress tolerance and the genes involved in the signaling network for cold stress is essential for improving plants, especially crops.

In the latex production chain, rubber tree seeds (Hevea brasiliensis) represent an underutilized fraction with high potentialities, which can increase the sustainability of the whole process if rightly valorized. In the present study, the quality of all the fractions obtained from the rubber fruit were evaluated, with the aim to identify possible applications for their valorization with a circular economy perspective. Seeds from five different varieties of rubber tree were analyzed. Furthermore, a whole mass and energy balance was defined, which has allowed us to define hypothetical production scenarios. The obtained results show negligible differences among varieties. Shells and capsules have shown a composition similar to woody biomass, with high heating values (more than 16.5 MJ kg−1), low nitrogen content (below 0.5% on weight basis (w/w)) and reduced ash content (0.51% w/w and 1.90% w/w, respectively). Kernels were chemically extracted comparing two different solvents: n-hexane and ethanol. Both solvents showed similar extraction yields, i.e., 49% w/w and 46% w/w for n-hexane and ethanol, respectively. The resulting extraction flour was characterized by a high protein content (around 40% w/w) making it suitable for animal feeding. The rubber seed oil could be used in blends of different vegetable oils for biodiesel production. All this information is useful for improving the sustainability of the latex production chain and to assess the sustainability of possible bioenergy value chains.

<p>Rubber trees (<em>Hevea brasiliensis</em>) are the main source of natural rubber, extracted from latex, which exudes from the trunk after tapping. Tapped trees require large amounts of carbon (C) to regenerate the latex after its collection. Knowing the contribution of C sources involved in latex biosynthesis will help understand how rubber trees face this additional C demand. Whole crown<sup> 13</sup>CO<sub>2 </sub>pulse labelling was performed on 4-year-old rubber trees in June when latex production was low and in October, when it was high. <sup>13</sup>C contents were quantified in the foliage, phloem sap, wood and latex. In both labelling periods, <sup>13</sup>C was recovered in latex just after labelling, indicating that part of the carbohydrates was directly allocated to latex. However, significant <sup>13</sup>C amounts were still recovered in latex after 100 days and the peak was reached significantly later than in phloem sap, demonstrating the contribution of a reserve pool as a source of latex C. The contribution of new photosynthates to latex regeneration was faster and higher when latex metabolism was well established, in October than in June. An improved understanding of C dynamics and source-sink relationship in rubber tree is crucial to adapt tapping system practices and ensure sustainable latex production.</p>

Hevea brasiliensis, a tropical tree species from the Amazon rainforest, is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. Due to the high pressure of fungal diseases in hot, humid regions, rubber plantations have been moved to escape areas, which are dryer and have lower temperatures during the winter. Here, we combined gene expression data of a primary (GT1) and a secondary (RRIM600) young rubber tree clones, which present different cold tolerance strategies, to analyze rubber tree gene expression regulation during 24 h of cold exposure (10 degrees Celsius). Together with traditional differential expression approaches, a RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) gene coexpression network (GCN) comprising 27,220 genes was established in which the genes were grouped into 832 clusters. In the GCN, most of the rubber tree molecular responses to cold stress were grouped in 26 clusters, which were divided into three GCN modules: a downregulated group comprising 12 clusters and two upregulated groups comprising eleven and three clusters. Considering the three modules identified, the general Hevea response to short-term cold exposure involved downregulation of gibberellin (GA) signaling, complex regulation of jasmonic acid (JA) stress responses and programmed cell death (PCD) and upregulation of ethylene responsive genes. The hub genes of the cold-responsive modules were subsequently identified and analyzed. As a result of the GCN strategy applied in this study, we could not only access individual DEGs related to the Hevea cold response, but also provide insights into a deeper cascade of associated mechanisms involved in the response to cold stress in young rubber trees. Our results may represent the genetic stress responses of the species, developed during its evolution, since the varieties chosen for this work are genotypes that were selected during the early years of rubber tree domestication. The understanding of H. brasiliensis cold response mechanisms can greatly improve the breeding strategies for this crop, which has a narrow genetic base, is impacted by climate change and is the only source for large-scale rubber production.
