Background: Tapping panel dryness (TPD) in rubber tree has become the most severe restricting factor of natural rubber production. To date, there is no effective measures to prevent and control TPD. Previous studies primarily focused on analyzing the molecular mechanism underlying TPD occurrence.

This multi-center retrospective study included pre-NAC clinical pathology data from 698 LABC patients. Post-operative pathological outcomes divided patients into tpCR and non-tpCR groups.

As a key enzyme for synthesizing phenylpropanoid compounds, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) has a critical role in plant satisfactory growth and environmental adaptation. To clarify the characteristics of rubber tree PAL family genes, a genome-wide characterization of rubber tree was conducted in this study.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCurrently, one of the most serious threats to rubber tree is the tapping panel dryness (TPD) that greatly restricts natural rubber production. Over-tapping or excessive ethephon stimulation is regarded as the main cause of TPD occurrence. Although extensive studies have been carried out, the molecular mechanism underlying TPD remains puzzled.
