摘要： Cold stress can result in reduced growth rates, decreased latex production, and restricted areas for the Para rubber tree ( Hevea brasiliensis). However, the molecular mechanisms governing the response of Hevea brasiliensis to cold stress remain elusive. Here, we found that ethylene plays a negative role in Hevea brasiliensis responses to cold stress. Treatment with the ethylene synthesis precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) decreased the cold tolerance of Hevea brasilien sis, while exogenous treatment with Ag+ (an ethylene signal inhibitor) had the opposite effect. Additionally, overexpressing HbE IN3 decreased cold stress tolerance in Arabidopsis and Taraxacum koksaghyz plants. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that HbEIN3-1 and HbEIN3-2 repress the expression of the cold-responsive genes HbCBF1-3 in Hevea brasiliensis. Moreover, HbEIN3-1 and HbEIN3-2 directly bind to the HbC BF1 promoter to suppress its transcription. Further investigation revealed that HbEIN3s interact with and dampen the transcriptional activity of HbICE2, a crucial transcription factor that positively regulates the cold signaling pathway, thereby attenuating the expression of HbICE2-targeted genes. Collectively, these findings indicate that HbEIN3s play a crucial role in ethylene- regulated cold tolerance through the repression of HbC BF1 expression and HbICE2 transcriptional activity.
