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 ...

Latex Serum‐Derived Supramolecular Networks Enable Toughening of Natural Rubber
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 10, 19 May 2026.Latex‐serum addition enhances strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) toughening in natural rubber, increasing tearing strength and extending the SIC activation window. Supramolecular networks form via bifurcated hydrogen bonding between polyol components (e.g., quebrachitol) and end‐functionalized polyisoprene chains, serving as effective crystallization

Post‐Additional Proteins into Rubber Matrices Behave as Filler to Reinforce Rubber
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 4, April 2026.The post‐additional proteins exhibit a reinforcement effect regardless of the origin of the rubber. The proteins are lyophilized to obtain a powder, which is then incorporated into the rubber matrices using a solution‐mixing process. These findings suggest that protein can function as a reinforcing filler depending on the rubber preparation process ...

Distribution of Rubber and Resins in Guayule [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1947 Rubber contents are so frequently the focus of attention in investigations of guayule (Parthenium argent at urn Gray) that an account of rubber distribution in the plant may contribute to experimental studies as well as to purely descriptive literature concerning the plant.
