Abstract
Analysis of physiological characteristics was carried out at the Physiology and 77 Protection Laboratory of the Unit Research Sungei Putih, Galang, Deli Serdang, North 78 Sumatra. Characteristics observed were total sugar (µM), proline (mg/L), chlorophyll a, b, total (µg/mL), hydrogen peroxidase (µmol/g), ascorbate peroxidase (unit/mg), superoxide dismutase (unit/mg), and peroxide dismutase (unit/mg). Herewith we describe the protocol used in our paper entitled "Physiological Characters of IRR 400 Series Rubber Clones (Hevea brasiliensisMuell. Arg.) on Drought Stress", to analyze total sugar content, proline, chlorophyll a, b, total, SOD, POD, H2O2 and APX
Total sugar content

2. Sulfuric acid solution: sulfuric acid: distilled water (100:29)
3. TCA 2.5%: 2.5 gr TCA dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water
4. Standard 2 mM sucrose:
- Stock I (40 mM): 69 mg sucrose dissolved in 5 ml TCA 2.5%
- Stock II (2 mM): 1 ml stock I plus 19 ml TCA 2.5%
Procedure
1. Samples taken 150 micro liters plus 2.5% TCA to a total of 500 micro liters
2. Add 3 ml of anthrone reagent and vortex
3. heated by immersing in boiling water for 15 minutes
4. Cooled by immersing in water
5. Absorbance is measured at a wavelength of 627 nm
Standard curve creation
- A standard solution series is made as follows:
| Final concentration (mM) | 0 | 0.15 | 0.3 | 0.45 | 0.6 | 0.9 | 1.2 | |
| Vol sucrose 2 mM (µl) | 0 | 37.5 | 75 | 112.5 | 150 | 225 | 300 | |
| Vol TCA 2.5% (µl) | 500 | 462.5 | 425 | 387.5 | 350 | 275 | 200 |
A standard solution series

Proline
The frozen plant material is homogenized in 3% aqueous sulfosalicylic acid (0.01g/0.5ml) and the residue is removed by centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 10 min.
1 ml of homogizad tissue reacts with 1 ml of ninhydrin acid and 1 ml of glacial acetic acid in a test tube for 1 hour at 100oC and the reaction is stopped in an ice bath
The reaction mixture is extracted with 2 ml of toluene, mixed vigorously and left at room temperature for 30 minutes until the separation of the two phases
The toluene containing chromophore (1 ml upper phase) is warmed to room temperature and its optical density is measured at 520 nm using toluene for blank.
Proline levels are determined from a standard curve using D-Proline
