Effect of chilling on photosynthesis and antioxidant enzymes in Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg

Résumé

The aim of the present study was to assess the tolerance of Hevea brasiliensis to chilling temperatures since rubber production has been extended to sub-optimal environments. PB260 clone was used to analyze the responses of leaves chilled at 10A degrees C during 96 h, as well as their recovery at 28A degrees C. Some key parameters were used to evaluate photosynthetic apparatus functioning, membrane damage (electrolyte leakage) and oxidative stress. A short-term response versus a long-term one have been recorded, the time point of 24 h, when stomata closure was effective, being the border between the two responses. P (n) decreased dramatically at 1 h, and Fv/Fm was slightly affected. NPQ reached its maximal level between 4 and 7 h. Lipid peroxidation and membrane lysis were observed between 48 and 96 h. Activities of antioxidant enzymes increased, along with the induction of antioxidant gene expression. Finally, the plants were capable to recover (net photosynthetic rate, photochemical efficiency, antioxidant enzymes activities) when placed back to 28A degrees C showing that PB260 can withstand long-term chilling.
