Hevea brasiliensis is an important cash crop with the product named natural rubber (NR) for markets. Ethylene (ET) is the most effective yield stimulant in NR production but the molecular mechanism remains incomplete. Here, latex properties analysis, transcriptome analysis, and metabolic profiling were performed to investigate the mechanism of NR yield increase in four consecutive tappings after ET stimulation. The results revealed that sucrose and inorganic phosphate content correlated positively with dry-rubber yield and were induced upon ET stimulation. Stimulation with ET also led to significant changes in gene expression and metabolite content. Genes involved in phytohormone biosynthesis and general signal transduction as well as 51 transcription factors potentially involved in the ET response were also identified. Additionally, KEGG annotation of differentially accumulated metabolites suggested that metabolites involved in secondary metabolites, amino-acid biosynthesis, ABC transporters, and galactose metabolism were accumulated in response to ET. Integrative analysis of the data collected by transcriptomics and metabolomics identified those differentially expressed genes and differentially accumulated metabolites are mainly involved in amino-acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. Correlation analysis of genes and metabolites showed a strong correlation between amino-acid biosynthesis during ET stimulation. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the ET-induced increase in rubber yield and further our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of ethylene signaling in rubber biosynthesis. |
