Natural rubber biosynthesis in plants, the rubber transferase complex, and metabolic engineering progress and prospects [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2019 SummaryNatural rubber (NR) is a nonfungible and valuable biopolymer, used to manufacture ~50 000 rubber products, including tires and medical gloves. Current production of NR is derived entirely from the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The increasing demand for NR, coupled with limitations and vulnerability of H. brasiliensis production systems,
