Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) differentiates defense reactions against root rot diseases caused by Rigidoporus lignosus and Phellinus noxius . These reactions, described at molecular, cellular and histological levels, rarely enable the tree to resist the fungal attack. Trees which initiate new tissues only survive to the infection.
