When Madagascar produced natural rubber: a brief, forgotten yet informative history. [PDF]
From 1891 to 1914, Madagascar, like other western African countries, was a production zone for forest rubber destined for export to Europe when Asian plantations where not yet sufficiently developed .

Development of guayule (Parthenium argentatum) at Cirad, France after the EU-PEARLS project [PDF]
Research activities on guayule started again in France in 2008 with the European project, EU-PEARLS. Guayule research activities have continued in France with implementation of several experimental fields after 2012, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region ...

Effect of supercritical CO2 and type of co-solvent for extraction of lipids and terpenics from Guayule biomass (Parthenium argentatum) [PDF]
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum), a perennial crop under semi-arid climate, producing polyisoprene (Guayule rubber, GR) and resin, is the most probable alternative source of natural rubber. GR is similar to Hevea's.

Downregulation of a CYP74 Rubber Particle Protein Increases Natural Rubber Production in \u3ci\u3eParthenium argentatum\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
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 ...

Evaluation of Guayule Resin as an Innovative Bio-Based Asphalt Alternative in MIX Performance
Literature revealed the potential of using guayule resin for asphalt cement replacement from the binder’s perspective. However, monitoring guayule resin through binder-aggregate mixture could disclose its performance through field. In this study, designated binders were employed to investigate the applicability of such an innovative replacer ...
