Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: HbPLT2
• Gene Name: putative polyol transporter protein 2
• 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.
• HbPLT2 can contribute to the turgor status of inner bark cells.
