Optimized Selenium‐Doped Nanocomposites for Enhanced Polymer Gel Performance in Permeability Reduction

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...

Integrative analysis of transcriptome and metabolome reveals how ethylene increases natural rubber yield in Hevea brasiliensis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Hevea brasiliensis is an important cash crop with the product named natural rubber (NR) for markets. Ethylene (ET) is the most effective yield stimulant in NR production but the molecular mechanism remains incomplete.

The Effects of Bio‐Fertilizer Applications on Post‐Harvest Fruit Quality in Soilless‐Grown Tomatoes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Microbial fertilization has been shown to have the potential to limit water loss. AG and AO treatments preserved shelf life by keeping the fruit flesh firmer compared to the control. Microbial fertilization preserved the physical structure of tomatoes during cold storage.

Different Ferromanganese Concretion Morphologies Host Distinct Microbial Communities and Metal Accumulation Patterns in the Baltic Sea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated how microbes influence the metal accumulation and release in Fe‐Mn concretions from the Gulf of Finland using microcosm incubation experiments. We studied three main concretion morphotypes: crust, discoidal, and spheroidal. Microbes enhanced metal accumulation in discoidal and spheroidal morphotypes.

Draft genome sequence of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis

BMC Genomics, 2013
Background Hevea brasiliensis, a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, is the major commercial source of natural rubber (NR). NR is a latex polymer with high elasticity, flexibility, and resilience that has played a critical role in the world economy since

Seasonal variation in rubber yield, physio-biochemical parameters and sucrose metabolism-related genes in two rubber tree cultivars

Industrial Crops and Products
Sucrose metabolism is essential for the biosynthesis of natural rubber in the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), but its seasonal regulation remains poorly understood.

Identification and reconstitution of the rubber biosynthetic machinery on rubber particles from Hevea brasiliensis

eLife, 2016
Natural rubber (NR) is stored in latex as rubber particles (RPs), rubber molecules surrounded by a lipid monolayer. Rubber transferase (RTase), the enzyme responsible for NR biosynthesis, is believed to be a member of the cis-prenyltransferase (cPT ...

Evolutionary Analysis of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase in Five Asteraceae Species

Plants, 2019
Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CPK) is crucial in Ca2+ signal transduction, and is a large gene family in plants. In our previous work, we reported Hevea brasiliensis CPKs were important for natural rubber biosynthesis.
