| Summary, etc | Major quantum of natural rubber is being recovered as an industrial raw material from the latex obtained on tapping the bark of Hevea brasiliensis, a deciduous tropical tree with an economic life span of about thirty years. Genetic improvement for achieving better attributes including high yield is one of the prime areas of research in this crop. It has een established that high latex yielding clones are vulnerable to a syndrome termed Tapping Panel Dryness (TPD), when the trees are subjected to intensive tapping. Cessation of latex flow from the tapping panel is the initial symptom, followed by the occurrence of a number of morphological, structural, biochemical and physiological changes resulting in complete drying of the bark. Even though different reasons are attributed for this century old problem, till now there is no remedy other than a few management practices. Sieve tubes, the prime channel for photoassimilate translocation in the bark of the tree that cater nourishments for latex biosynthesis exhibit an array of deformations following TPD. In this context, stress responsive plant deformations viz., permanently altered cambial activity, intense deposition of definitive callose and P-protein, chaotic dynamic system in the sieve tube, peroxidase activity, protein storing cells and phytoplasma with respect to TPD are reviewed. |
