  abstract = {{T}runk phloem necrosis ({TPN}), a physiological bark disorder of the rubber tree ({H}evea brasiliensis), is a serious problem that affects the yield of natural rubber. {T}he resultant bark dryness occurs in up to half of a plantation's trees in almost every rubber tree plantation region, causing a great annual loss of dry rubber for natural rubber production. {D}ifferent types of injury and physical damage caused by mechanical activation as well as environmental stresses cause physiological bark disorder in tree. {D}ue to the essential role of mi{R}166, mi{R}393 and mi{R}167 in vascular development and abiotic stress response in diverse plant species, it was interesting to investigate the role of these mi{RNA}s in rubber trees, particularly during development of a physiological bark disorder. {I}n this study, the expression pattern of mi{R}166, mi{R}393 and mi{R}167; and their target genes, {HD}-{ZIP} {III}; {TIR}1 and {ARF}8, respectively; was demonstrated in healthy tree and different {TPN} trees. {T}heir existence and function in vivo was validated using {RNA} ligase-mediated 5' rapid amplification of c{DNA} ends. {T}aken together, the results suggest a possible dual role of these three mi{RNA}s in maintaining normal bark regeneration in healthy trees, coping with overtapping by affecting the wound healing system leading to abnormal bark regeneration in overtapped-{TPN} trees, and act as additional forces that enhance the attenuation of vascular development resulting in bark necrosis and cell death in the natural-{TPN} tree. {T}his is the first study to address the molecular events of mi{RNA}s involved in the physiological bark disorder {TPN} in rubber tree. {F}urther study will open the possibility to better understanding of physiological and molecular perspectives during {TPN} development, and lead to improvement of monitoring the exploitation of rubber tree plantations.},
