Identification and characterization of genes associated with tapping panel dryness from Hevea brasiliensis latex using suppression subtractive hybridization

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Tapping panel dryness (TPD) is one of the most serious threats to natural rubber production. Although a great deal of effort has been made to study TPD in rubber tree, the molecular mechanisms underlying TPD remain poorly understood ...

Physiological and Proteomic Analyses of Molybdenum- and Ethylene-Responsive Mechanisms in Rubber Latex

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential micronutrient in many plants. In the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, Mo application can reduce the shrinkage of the tapping line, decrease tapping panel dryness, and finally increase rubber latex yield.

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Integration Reveals Key Tapping-Responsive Factors for Natural Rubber Biosynthesis in the Rubber Tree Hevea brasiliensis

Forests
Natural rubber is a crucial industrial material, and it is primarily harvested from the latex of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis by tapping the tree trunk. During the regular tapping process, mechanical damage seriously affects latex reproduction and rubber yield, but the molecular mechanisms on tapping stimulation remain unclear.

Transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular mechanisms of rubber biosynthesis and laticifer differentiation during rubber seed germination

Frontiers in Plant Science
The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of natural rubber synthesis and laticifer differentiation have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we conducted a time-series transcriptome analysis of five rubber tree tissues at four stages of ...

Genome-Wide Identification of the Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Synthase (GGPS) Gene Family Associated with Natural Rubber Synthesis in Taraxacum kok-saghyz L. Rodin

Plants
Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin (TKS) is a recognized alternative source of natural rubber comparable to the rubber tree. The geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS) catalyzed the synthesis of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), which is an important ...

Integrating physiological and transcriptomic analyses identifies key regulators of latex regeneration in Hevea brasiliensis

Industrial Crops and Products
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) represents the primary commercial source of natural rubber worldwide. Rubber yield in this species is critically dependent on latex regeneration capacity, which varies substantially among clones such as ...

Electronic Activation and Inhibition of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis Catalyzed by a Complex Heterologous Membrane-Bound Complex

Processes
Natural rubber biosynthesis is catalyzed by a unilamella membrane-bound heterologous complex with multiple different subunits (rubber transferase, RTase). Two substrates and divalent metal cation activators are required, and their concentrations affect biosynthetic rate and polymer molecular weight.

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

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 ...
