Proteomic and Targeted Lipidomic Analyses of Fluid and Rigid Rubber Particle Membrane Domains in Guayule [PDF]
Rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is produced in cytosolic unilamellar vesicles called rubber particles (RPs), and the protein complex responsible for this synthesis, the rubber transferase (RTase), is embedded in, or tethered to, the membranes of these RPs.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling of Chicory Roots Provide Insights Into Laticifer Development and Specialized Metabolism. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...

Summary Lettuce produces natural rubber (NR) with an average Mw of > 1 million Da in laticifers, similar to NR from rubber trees. As lettuce is an annual, self‐pollinating, and easily transformable plant, it is an excellent model for molecular genetic studies of NR biosynthesis.
