摘要： Background: The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the only species capable of producing high-quality natural rubber for commercial use, and is often subjected to various abiotic stresses in non-traditional rubber plantation areas. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a vital metalloenzyme translated by a SOD gene family member and acts as a first-line of protection in plant cells by catalysing the disproportionation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to produce H2O2 and O-2. However, the SOD gene family is not reported in rubber trees. Methods: Here, we used hidden markov model (HMM) and BLASTP methods to identify SOD genes in the H. brasiliensis genome. Phylogenetic tree, conserved motifs, gene structures, cis elements, and gene ontology annotation (GO) analyses were performed using MEGA 6.0, MEME, TBtools, PlantCARE, and eggNOG database, respectively. HbSOD gene expression profiles were analysed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: We identified nine HbSOD genes in the rubber tree genome, including five HbCSDs, two HbFSDs, and two HbMSDs. Phylogenetic relationship analysis classified the SOD proteins from the rubber tree and other related species into three subfamilies. The results of gene structure and conserved motif analysis illustrated that most HbSOD genes have similar exon-intron numbers and conserved motifs in the same evolutionary branch. Five hormone-related, four stress-related, and light-responsive elements were detected in the HbSODs' promoters. HbSODs were expressed in different tissues, gradually increased with leaf development, and were abundantly expressed in mature leaves. HbCSD2 and HbCSD4 was significantly upregulated under low and high temperatures, and salt stress, except for HbCSD2, by heat. Furthermore, most HbSOD genes were significantly upregulated by drought, except HbMSD2. These findings imply that these genes may play vital roles in rubber tree stress resistance. Our results provide a basis for further studies on the functions of HbSOD genes in rubber trees and stress response mechanisms.
