บทคัดย่อ (EN): In Asia particularly Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, rubber farming is a profitable agroindustrial venture and considered as most indispensable product with a wide range of technological and industrial uses. In the Philippines, rubber farms are mainly concentrated in Mindanao. However, out of the 161,000 hectares of rubber plantation, about 70,000 ha have trees older than 25 years such that there is a need to rehabilitate the said farms by replanting with the new certified high yielding superior clones to ensure high rubber products volume for both local and export markets. In essence, there is an urgent need for an accurate, reliable and efficient, clone/genotype identification so that only those authentic/genuine superior clones of farmer’s preference will be used in the replanting and expansion of rubber plantation. In view of this, the Philippines government prioritized the funding of several projects to ensure increased production of high and quality materials. The following are the ongoing projects in rubber biotechnology: 1) Validation of Varietal Integrity of Promising Rubber Clones through DNA Fingerprinting. Superior rubber clones have been identified due to their high yielding ability/potential. However, there are doubts on their identity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to validate the identity of these promising clones before they can be disposed and planted to ensure that only those high yielding clones are used in either the expansion of rubber plantation. With the advent of molecular marker technology, this gap for an efficient and revitalized rubber industry can be bridged. Molecular marker techniques have been proven useful in accurate, reliable and efficient clone/genotype identification and certification; 2) Genomics assisted development of gene marker for important traits in rubber production and clone improvement. Owing to the long breeding selection cycle because rubber is a perennial crop it is very difficult if not impossible to develop and raise F2 mapping populations for crop improvement. It is at this premise that endeavors to address this constraint is worth investigating. This therefore necessitates the application of functional genomics in developing a gene marker and EST for library database for rubber. This then will serve as a rubber genetic data to assist in determining desirable traits which can fast track genetic selection and improvement in rubber. The objectives of the projects are to develop and establish a gene marker and EST for library database in rubber and to use the established gene marker/EST database for rubber improvement through functional genomics. 3) Development of Efficient Tissue Culture, Sometic Embryognesis, In-vivo and In-vitro Techniques for Rapid Propagation in Rubber. The use of rubber plants derived from somatic embryogenesis and other tissue culture techniques offer good promise because plants developed from this method will eliminate the problem of stock and scion incompatibility. Budding which is the most tedious work in the nursery, will also be eliminated and the supply of rubber seedlings could be programmed if not available at all times. Three components was of this ongoing: Capacity building (laboratory and retooling and training of personnel); Development of simple and efficient tissue culture techniques for rapid propagation in rubber (somatic embryogenesis technique for rapid propagation in rubber and shoot micro cutting technique as a method of propagating rubber); and Development of In-vitro and in-vivo propagation technique for the production of rubber planting materials. This project aims to develop an efficient tissue culture for rapid propagation in rubber through micro cutting somatic embryogenesis and in-vivo; test the performance of tissue cultured rubber in terms of root development and anchorage, resistance, to lodging, growth and branching habit and yield potential; identify high yielding rubber that could be propagated by tissue culture without changing the genetic potential and yield performance of such clones; and produce appropriate publication materials for dissemination to concerned industry stakeholders.
