Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5654-5676, December 2025.ABSTRACT Taraxacum kok‐saghyz (TKS) synthesises natural rubber (NR) and inulin using sucrose as a carbon source. However, molecular mechanisms regulating inulin and NR accumulation remain largely unclear. Here, we report the generation of double‐gene homozygous mutants, 1‐sst1‐fft, by simultaneously knocking out two key genes responsible for inulin ...

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 5109-5123, October 2025.Suspending old certainties, NMR now hints at a constant linear polyisoprene core whose corona morphs with pH tight, multilamellar in acidic latex, loose and hydrated after ammonia. ABSTRACT How reliable is our century‐old understanding of natural‐rubber latex (NRL) when examined through the lens of modern analytical techniques, such as nuclear magnetic

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 2041-2061, November 2019., 2019 Summary Natural rubber (NR) is a nonfungible and valuable biopolymer, used to manufacture ~50 000 rubber products, including tires and medical gloves. Current production of NR is derived entirely from the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The increasing demand for NR, coupled with limitations and vulnerability of H. brasiliensis production systems,

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2025.Industrial crops on marginal lands provide low‐iLUC feedstock for bio‐based industries, promoting sustainable bioeconomy development. However, uncertainties like limited data, farmer hesitancy and immature markets hinder adoption. This study applies a multi‐criteria framework within the EU Horizon MIDAS project to connect bio‐based value chains and ...

Food Frontiers, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 2319-2332, September 2024.MeJA significantly increased phytosterol production and altered the other metabolites in rapeseeds. SQE3, CAS1, SMT1, SMO2, SMO1, and DWF1 were found to be the key synthetic enzymes of phytosterols. Three novel transcription factors were validated as regulators of phytosterol content Abstract Phytosterols are a group of nonpharmacological alternatives ...
