Metabolism of Acetate in Hevea brasiliensis [PDF]
THERE is now considerable evidence to show that the synthesis of isoprenoid compounds in both plants and animals may proceed by the utilization of acetate as the sole primary carbon source1,2, and that the pathways by which the isoprenoid monomer is derived from acetate may have a number of carboxylate intermediates in common, for example, ββ′-dimethyl

Genes expressed in the latex of Hevea brasiliensis [PDF]
Rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene), an important raw material for many industrial uses, is synthesized in the latex of Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg. We postulated that the genes uniquely or preferentially expressed in the latex may be important for rubber biosynthesis. We constructed cDNA libraries from the latex of H.

ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic biomass is gaining attention as low‐cost renewable resources for sugars for fermentation and as a source of energy. Pretreatments and fermentation of these biomasses can generate organic acids and furans. Many liquid chromatography protocols have been developed for the analysis of these compounds.

Performance of different latex harvesting systems to increase the labor productivity of rubber plantations in Thailand [PDF]
Yield gaps between rubber smallholdings and rubber agro-industries often exist. These gaps are usually important regarding land productivity (kg/ha) but even more important regarding labor productivity (kg/tapper/day). However, technical packages of GAP (

Influence of Ethephon stimulation on latex physiological parameters and consequences on latex diagnosis implementation in rubber agro-industry [PDF]
Latex Diagnosis (LD) is currently considered by Cirad and most of its rubber agro-industry partners as a routine physiological tool to optimise, at block level, the rubber yield production of the rubber plantations.

Balancing bioenergy expansion and restoration: Global shifts in biodiversity intactness
While restoration is the best strategy for biodiversity, planting energy crops on agricultural land rather than replacing natural vegetation could minimise losses in biodiversity intactness index. However, achieving targets for bioenergy, climate change and restoration will require strategic land‐use planning to minimise ecological compromises ...

The "double cut alternative" (DCA) tapping system: an innovative tapping system designed for Thai rubber smallholdings using high tapping frequency [PDF]
In Thailand, the continuous decrease in the size of rubber plantations has led to the general adoption of intensive tapping systems which may lead to over harvesting, high rates of tapping panel dryness (TPD), short life-cycles of the plantations, and ...
