Natural rubber biosynthesis in plants, the rubber transferase complex, and metabolic engineering progress and prospects. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J, 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,

A lettuce (Lactuca sativa) homolog of human Nogo-B receptor interacts with cis-prenyltransferase and is necessary for natural rubber biosynthesis. [PDF]

J Biol Chem, 2015
Natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is an indispensable biopolymer used to manufacture diverse consumer products. Although a major source of natural rubber is the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is also known to synthesize natural rubber.

TkJAZs-TkMYC2-TkSRPP/REF Regulates the Biosynthesis of Natural Rubber in Taraxacum kok-saghyz

Plants
Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS) is a natural rubber (NR)-producing plant and a model plant for studying the biosynthesis of NR. Analyzing and studying the biosynthetic mechanism of NR is an important way to cultivate high-yield rubber TKS varieties.

Differential Expression of lncRNAs and miRNAs Between Self-Rooting Juvenile and Donor Clones Unveils Novel Insight Into the Molecular Regulation of Rubber Biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is a tropical tree species that produce natural rubber. Self-rooted juvenile clones (SRJCs) are novel rubber tree planting materials developed through primary somatic embryogenesis.

Effect of drought stress on natural rubber biosynthesis and quality in Taraxacum kok-saghyz roots. [PDF]

PLoS One
Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS) is a potential source of natural rubber (NR) that can be grown in temperate regions with limited water availability. However, the effect of drought stress on NR production and properties in TKS isn’t well studied. This study examined how different levels of drought stress (30, 60 and 90%) influenced the NR content, molecular ...

Identification of miRNAs and their targets in two Taraxacum species with contrasting rubber-producing ability

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in various aspects of plant growth and development. However, how miRNAs and their targets regulate natural rubber metabolism remains unclear in the rubber-producing dandelions, which are being developed as ...

Biosynthesis of Natural Rubber: Current State and Perspectives [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Natural rubber is a kind of indispensable biopolymers with great use and strategic importance in human society. However, its production relies almost exclusively on rubber-producing plants Hevea brasiliensis, which have high requirements for growth conditions, and the mechanism of natural rubber biosynthesis remains largely unknown.
