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.

Novel Mechanisms Underlying Rubber Accumulation and Programmed Cell Death in Laticiferous Canals of Decaisnea insignis Fruits: Cytological and Transcriptomic Analyses

Plants, 2023
Natural rubber is one of the most important industrial raw materials, and its biosynthesis is still a fascinating process that is still largely unknown.

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.

Natural rubber reduces herbivory and alters the microbiome below ground [PDF]

, 2023
14751489Laticifers are hypothesized to mediate both plant–herbivore and plant–microbe interactions. However, there is little evidence for this dual function.

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 ...

Identification of a Taraxacum brevicorniculatum rubber elongation factor protein that is localized on rubber particles and promotes rubber biosynthesis

, 2022
S.609-620Two protein families required for rubber biosynthesis in Taraxacum brevicorniculatum have recently been characterized, namely the cis-prenyltransferases (TbCPTs) and the small rubber particle proteins (TbSRPPs).

Downregulation of Squalene Synthase Broadly Impacts Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Guayule

Metabolites, 2022
Production of natural rubber by Parthenium argentaum (guayule) requires increased yield for economic sustainability. An RNAi gene silencing strategy was used to engineer isoprenoid biosynthesis by downregulation of squalene synthase (SQS), such that the ...

Relationship between the number of tapping-induced secondary laticifer lines and rubber yield among Hevea germplasm [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016
The lack of suitable early selection parameters means that traditional rubber breeding for yield is time-consuming and inefficient. Laticifer is a tissue specific for natural rubber biosynthesis and storage in rubber tree.

Genomics of Rubber Biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis

, 2020
The Hevea brasiliensis rubber tree is the largest commercial producer of natural rubber. The ability to synthesize a naturally occurring polymer is one of the main attractions of studying latex rubber biosynthesis.
