Susceptibility of rubber trees toLoranthaceaein Gabon [PDF]

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2009
Abstract In Gabon, two major species of Loranthaceae, Phragmanthera capitata (Sprengel) Balle and Globimetula braunii (Engl.) Danser to a lesser extent, parasitize Hevea brasiliensis (Mull.) Arg. The behavior of different clones of rubber trees facing the Loranthaceae parasitism has been studied in the large industrial plantation of Mitzic and in three

Evolution of OLED Lamination Technology With Development of Display Form Factors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review evaluates the evolution of organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) lamination technologies alongside advancing display form factors. It contrasts optically clear adhesives and resins, highlighting uniformity control for rigid screens, bubble‐free optimization for bended architectures, and visible‐light curing for foldable layers.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal molecular mechanisms underlying growth heterosis and weakness of rubber tree seedlings

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Breeding rubber tree seedling with growth heterosis is vital for natural rubber production. It is the prerequisites for effectively utilizing growth heterosis to elucidate its molecular mechanisms, but the molecular mechanisms remain poorly ...

The secondary laticifer differentiation in rubber tree is induced by trichostatin A, an inhibitor of histone acetylation [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016
The secondary laticifer, a specific tissue in the secondary phloem of rubber tree, is differentiated from the vascular cambia. The number of the secondary laticifer in the trunk bark of rubber tree is positively correlated with rubber yield.

Ficus elastica: Rubber Tree

EDIS, 2018
Often seen as an interior container plant, Rubber Tree has large, 5 to 12-inch-long, thick, glossy evergreen leaves, multiple trunks, and a spreading, irregular canopy. Able to reach 100 feet in height in its native habitat in the jungle but most often seen at about 25 to 40 feet in the landscape, Rubber Tree is useful as a screen, shade, patio, or ...

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Draft genome sequence of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2013
Abstract 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 1876 ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
