The homopolymer, poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), P(3HO), as a matrix material for soft tissue engineering [PDF]

, 2011
The homopolymer poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), P(3HO) produced from Pseudomonas mendocina using octanoate as carbon feed was studied as a potential biomaterial for soft tissue engineering i.e. as cardiac patch and as matrices for skin tissue engineering.

Asymmetric birth and death of type I and type II MADS-box gene subfamilies in the rubber tree facilitating laticifer development.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is a rubber producing crop and contains specialized laticifers. MADS-box genes are a family of transcription factor genes that regulate plant development, especially floral organ and gametophyte ...

Transcriptome-Wide Identification and Characterization of MYB Transcription Factor Genes in the Laticifer Cells of Hevea brasiliensis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
MYB transcription factors hold vital roles in the regulation of plant secondary metabolic pathways. Laticifers in rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are of primary importance in natural rubber production because natural rubber is formed and stored within ...

Rubber elongation factor from Hevea brasiliensis. Identification, characterization, and role in rubber biosynthesis.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 1989
The presence of a protein, rubber elongation factor (REF), which is tightly bound to serum-free rubber particles purified from Hevea brasiliensis latex, is necessary for prenyltransferases from a number of sources to add multiple cis-isoprene units to rubber molecules.

Characterization of Hevea Brasiliensis Rubber from Virgin Trees: A Possible Role of Cis-Polyisoprene in Unexploited Tree

, 1999
The role of rubber in Hevea brasiliensis was analyzed based on the structural analysis of rubber in rubber trees as latex. The rubber obtained from a mature-tree which has never tapped before, so-called “virgin mature-tree” (Vir-NR), contained the gel ...

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 ...

Sugar availability modulates polyisoprenoid and phytosterol profiles in Arabidopsis thaliana hairy root culture. [PDF]

, 2013
Sugars are recognized as signaling molecules regulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. Here, a modulatory effect of sugars on dolichol and phytosterol profiles was noted in the hairy roots of Arabidopsis thaliana.
