ResumoAbstract Correlations were established between the variations in rubber production by Hevea and the pH of the lutoids (lysosomes with vacuolar characteristics) and the pH of latex cytoplasm. Correlation was also noted between production and the pH difference of the two compartments. Analogous relationships were found between citrate absorption by lutoids and the pH values of latex sera. Hormonal stimulation of production is accompanied by an increased citrate absorption by the lutoids.
