Black Crust Complex: Influence of Temperature and Period of Wetness on the Development of Fungi in .

The objective of this work was to evaluate the development of sp. and its asexual form, sp., under different environmental conditions in the rubber tree ().

Monitoring Colonization and Reproduction in Different Rubber Tree Clones.

Anthracnose, caused by fungi of the genus , is present in the major rubber tree crop areas in Brazil, especially in São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and northern states. This disease can affect different tissues of the rubber tree, leading to production losses. Thus, a better understanding of the pathosystem x rubber tree can provide evidence to subsequent epidemiological research and phytosanitary management studies of this disease in the field.

Structural and Biochemical Aspects Related to Resistance and Susceptibility of Rubber Tree Clones to Anthracnose.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate structural and biochemical aspects related to the interaction of resistant (RRIM 937, IAC 502 and 507) and susceptible (RRIM 600) rubber tree clones with . For such analysis, ultrathin sections of the leaf limb were embedded in historesin and differently stained to verify structural alterations and presence of starch grains, arginine, lipids, tannins and lignins. The total proteins and activity of the enzymes peroxidase and (PAL) were quantified.

Genetic diversity associated with natural rubber quality in elite genotypes of the rubber tree.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of natural rubber latex traits among 44 elite genotypes of the rubber tree [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.

High-Resolution Genetic Map and QTL Analysis of Growth-Related Traits of Cultivated Under Suboptimal Temperature and Humidity Conditions.

Rubber tree () cultivation is the main source of natural rubber worldwide and has been extended to areas with suboptimal climates and lengthy drought periods; this transition affects growth and latex production. High-density genetic maps with reliable markers support precise mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL), which can help reveal the complex genome of the species, provide tools to enhance molecular breeding, and shorten the breeding cycle. In this study, QTL mapping of the stem diameter, tree height, and number of whorls was performed for a full-sibling population derived from a GT1 and RRIM701 cross.
