The decline of US manufacturing productivity between 1941 and 1948

The Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 1163-1190, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The view that war benefits potential output has been influential in treatments of US mobilization for the Second World War, where it has been largely premised on the benefits of learning by doing in producing military durables. If the thesis that war benefits aggregate supply is correct, it is indeed within manufacturing that we should most ...

New insights into natural rubber biosynthesis from rubber‐deficient lettuce mutants expressing goldenrod or guayule cis‐prenyltransferase

New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 3, Page 1098-1111, August 2023., 2023
Summary Lettuce produces natural rubber (NR) with an average Mw of > 1 million Da in laticifers, similar to NR from rubber trees. As lettuce is an annual, self‐pollinating, and easily transformable plant, it is an excellent model for molecular genetic studies of NR biosynthesis.

Simultaneous Knockout of Tk1-SST and Tk1-FFT via CRISPR/Cas9 Enhances the Natural Rubber Accumulation in Taraxacum kok-saghyz. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Taraxacum kok‐saghyz (TKS) synthesises natural rubber (NR) and inulin using sucrose as a carbon source. However, molecular mechanisms regulating inulin and NR accumulation remain largely unclear. Here, we report the generation of double‐gene homozygous mutants, 1‐sst1‐fft, by simultaneously knocking out two key genes responsible for inulin ...

Identification of diverse agronomic traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm lines to use in crop improvement

Legume Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Abstract A chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) collection consisting of 445 Kabuli‐type collected from different locations of Iran was evaluated based on six qualitative and 14 quantitative morphological descriptors. Chickpea accessions were widely varied in plant height, the number of pods per plant, plant dry weight, 100‐grain weight, grain yield, and ...

Influence of Guayule Resin as a Bio-Based Additive on Asphalt–Rubber Binder at Elevated Temperatures

Recycling, 2019
This study seeks to find the influence of replacing a portion of the asphalt−rubber binder with the bio-based material “guayule resin.” This replacement could be beneficial in terms of sustainability, economics, and environmental ...

Molecular Studies of the Protein Complexes Involving Cis-Prenyltransferase in Guayule (Parthenium argentatum), an Alternative Rubber-Producing Plant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum) is a perennial shrub in the Asteraceae family and synthesizes a high quality, hypoallergenic cis-1,4-polyisoprene (or natural rubber; NR).

Transcriptome analysis of rubber biosynthesis in guayule (Parthenium argentatum gray)

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Natural rubber is currently produced nearly exclusively from latex of the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. The desire to reduce the environmental cost of rubber production, fears of pathogen susceptibility in clonal Hevea plantations ...
