Endogenous cytokinins as biochemical markers of rubber-tree (Hevea brasiliensis) clone rejuvenation

The endogenous levels of isopentenyladenine, isopentenyladenosine, zeatin and zeatin riboside and the ability for #in vitro# axillary shoot organogenesis and rhizogenesis were compared between mature and rejuvenated clones of #Hevea brasiliensis# (Müll. Arg.). Enhancement of the #in vitro# organogenesis ability of rubber-tree clones following somatic embryogenesis or repeated grafting onto juvenile rootstocks was accompanied by an increase of zeatin riboside levels in shoots used as starting material for #in vitro# micropropagation. Furthermore, the zeatin level, in #in vitro# shoots of clones treated by #in vitro# micrografting, and consequently capable of axillary shoot and root organogenesis, was higher than in #in vitro# shoots of non treated mature material incapable of #in vitro# organogenesis. We conclude that the endogenous zeatin-like cytokinin level (free and ribosylated forms) can be considered as a reliable marker for the recovery of #in vitro# shoot and root organogenesis after rejuvenating treatments in rubber-tree clones.
