Downregulation of a CYP74 Rubber Particle Protein Increases Natural Rubber Production in Parthenium argentatum [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
We report functional genomics studies of a CYP74 rubber particle protein from Parthenium argentatum, commonly called guayule. Previously identified as an allene oxide synthase (AOS), this CYP74 constitutes the most abundant protein found in guayule ...

Synergistic Potential of Argentatins A and B to Improve 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Models. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5‐fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s.

Ionic Liquids Separating Rubber Latex from Guayule. [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2021
Danger to rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) from South American leaf blight fungus imperils the world’s source of natural latex for essential rubber products. Avoiding latex allergies also requires a non-Hevea latex source.
