Functional Characterization of TkSRPP Promoter in Response to Hormones and Wounding Stress in Transgenic Tobacco

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Taraxacum kok-saghyz is a model species for studying natural rubber biosynthesis because its root can produce high-quality rubber. Small rubber particle protein (SRPP), a stress-related gene to multiple stress responses, involves in natural rubber ...

Molecular Insights of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis-An Approach from Prenyltransferase Gene Analysis

open access: bronzeNIPPON GOMU KYOKAISHI, 2003
Linear prenyl diphosphates whose carbon chain length varies widely from geranyl diphosphate (C10) to natural rubber (C>105) are biosynthesized by the catalytic function of a group of enzymes called prenyltransferases. Prenyltransferases are classified in two major groups, trans- or (E)-prenyltransferases and cis- or (Z)-prenyltransferases.

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

open access: yesScientific 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.

Investigating the biosynthesis of natural rubber through the characterisation of rubber associated proteins [PDF]

open access: green, 2016
Natural rubber from the para rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is one of world’s most important natural resources. Despite its use in the manufacture of a wide range of essential items the mechanisms by which natural rubber is synthesised is poorly understood.\ud \ud Natural rubber is a long chain cis-polyisoprene, composed of units of isopentenyl ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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)

open access: yesBMC 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 ...
