Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: HbPLT1
  • Gene Name: putative polyol transporter protein 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Hevea brasiliensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • Screening a latex-derived cDNA library using polyol transporter-specific probes, two full-length cDNAs were isolated, and named HbPLT1 and HbPLT2 (for Hevea brasiliensis polyol transporter 1 and 2, respectively).
  • HbPLT1 and HbPLT2 expression patterns varied in response to different stimuli. Bark treatment with ethylene resulted in an early and significant up-regulation of HbPLT2 transcripts in laticifers as well as in inner bark cells, when compared with HbPLT1. Other treatments, especially mechanical wounding, strongly induced HbPLT2 transcripts.
  • Ethylene effect on the expression pattern of HbPLT1 and HbPLT2 in the latex and bark of virgin trees.
  • HbPLT1 transcripts were accumulated in latex within the first 4 h (3-fold), before returning to their basal level as soon as 8h after ethylene treatment.
