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 ...

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.

RNASeq analysis of drought-stressed guayule reveals the role of gene transcription for modulating rubber, resin, and carbohydrate synthesis

Scientific Reports, 2021
The drought-adapted shrub guayule (Parthenium argentatum) produces rubber, a natural product of major commercial importance, and two co-products with potential industrial use: terpene resin and the carbohydrate fructan.

Transcriptomics integrated with widely targeted metabolomics reveals the cold resistance mechanism in Hevea brasiliensis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The rubber tree is the primary source of natural rubber and is mainly cultivated in Southeast Asian countries. Low temperature is the major abiotic stress affecting the yield of the rubber tree.

Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants [PDF]

, 2014
Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product of the mevalonate pathway.

A Candidate Secreted Effector Protein of Rubber Tree Powdery Mildew Fungus Contributes to Infection by Regulating Plant ABA Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Powdery mildew infects a wide range of crops and economic plants, causing substantial losses. Rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are the primary source of natural rubber, and powdery mildew infection causes significant losses to natural rubber yields. How

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 ...

New insights into natural rubber biosynthesis from rubber‐deficient lettuce mutants expressing goldenrod or guayule cis‐prenyltransferase

New Phytologist, 2023
Summary Lettuce produces natural rubber (NR) with an average Mw of > 1 million Da in laticifers, similar to NR from rubber trees. As lettuce is an annual, self‐pollinating, and easily transformable plant, it is an excellent model for molecular genetic studies of NR biosynthesis. CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis was optimized using lettuce hairy roots, and
