Abstract:

128 clones of Wakeham germplasm rubber trees, which were tapped, were used as the research object in this study. The average annual latex yield of each tapping from clonal ramet, dry rubber content in latex and sucrose content, inorganic phosphorus content, mercaptan content, total solids content in latex were determined, and the correlation analysis of population variation was analyzed combined with the data of rubber tree diometer at breast height (DBH) at the end of 2017. The sucrose content was in the range of 3.14-35.50 mmol/L, with the largest coefficient of variation for 53.2%. Average annual latex yield of each tapping from clonal ramet was in the range of 24.2-475.0 mL, with a variation coefficient 51.5%. Sucrose content and dry rubber content, average annual latex yield of each tapping from clonal ramet was significantly negative correlated (P<0.05). All clones could be divided into three types by K-means cluster analysis. The first class was accounted for 10%, with the highest average annual latex yield of each tapping from clonal ramet (351.0 mL) and the highest average DBH circumference (59.5 cm). The fourth tapping latex yield was the highest (196.2 mL) with the lowest sucrose content (7.83 mmol/L) and no significant difference of other physiological indexes.
