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

NIPPON 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.

Effects of mixed microbial fermentation on the quality and metabolite profile of cassava leaf feed based on untargeted metabolomics

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cassava leaves are a major byproduct of cassava processing and have a low utilization rate. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Bacillus subtilis were used for solid‐state fermentation of cassava leaves to improve their feed quality. Results After 48 h of fermentation, the feed pH decreased to

Guayule (Parthenium argentatum A. Gray), a Renewable Resource for Natural Polyisoprene and Resin: Composition, Processes and Applications

Molecules, 2021
Natural rubber is an essential material, especially for plane and truck tyres but also for medical gloves. Asia ranks first in the production of natural rubber, of which the Hevea tree is currently the sole source.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Heterologous expression of FTO in latex enhances rubber content by modulating the mRNA stability in the rubber biosynthesis pathway

Industrial Crops and Products
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a significant role in plant development and stress tolerance. However, m6A atlas and functions in natural rubber (NR) production remain unexplored in rubber-producing plants.
