The Chromosome-Based Rubber Tree Genome Provides New Insights into Spurge Genome Evolution and Rubber Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2020
The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, produces natural rubber that serves as an essential industrial raw material. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome for a rubber tree cultivar GT1 using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) and Hi-C technologies to anchor the ∼1.47-Gb genome assembly into 18 pseudochromosomes.

Biosynthesis of Rubber

Science, 1954
The problem of how rubber is synthesized in the plant has been divided into two portions:(i) the nature of the monomer used and how this monomer is synthesized, and (ii) the nature of the polymerization reaction by which the monomer is transformed to rubber.

The Biosynthesis of Rubber

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1961
Abstract The goal seems now well defined, but the means necessary for its attainment have yet to be chosen. Undoubtedly, isotopic methods will be the appropriate approach to gather the required information. They will be used less for investigation of individual transformations than for establishing the balance of transformation of the ...

Natural rubber biosynthesis—A living carbocationic polymerization?

Progress in Polymer Science, 2006
Abstracts An exhaustive in-depth review of the biochemical literature concerning the biosynthesis of polyisoprenes, including natural rubber (NR, cis -1,4-polyisoprene c PIP) by rubber-producing plants, and the polymer chemical literature on biomimetic and related syntheses, leads us to postulate that the biosynthesis of polyisoprenoids in general ...

The stereochemistry of rubber biosynthesis

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1966
Abstract The stereochemistry of the formation of natural rubber and trans-trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate in latex has been studied in vitro using [2-14C-(4R)-4-3H1] and [2-14C-(4S)-4-3H1]mevalonates as substrates. The proton eliminated from C-2 of isopentenyl pyrophosphate during the formation of farnesyl pyrophosphate in latex has the ...

Stereochemistry of Rubber Biosynthesis

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1967
Abstract The stereochemistry of the formation of natural rubber and trans-trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate in latex has been studied in vitro using [2−14C−(4R)−3H1] and [2−14C−(4S)−4−3H1]mevalonates as substrates. The proton eliminated from C-2 of isopentenyl pyrophosphate during the formation of farnesyl pyrophosphate in latex has the same steric ...

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis

Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2021
Natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is an irreplaceable starting material for thousands of products, many of which are absolutely essential, in particular for modern medicine. Rubber is found in the latex of an aqueous emulsion contained in the specialized structures of rubber-producing plants, laticifers.

Elucidation of rubber biosynthesis and accumulation in the rubber producing shrub, guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray)

Planta, 2017
Guayule biosynthesizes and accumulates rubber particles predominantly in epithelial cells in the parenchyma tissue, and this biosynthesis and accumulation is accompanied by remodeling of the roles of epithelial cells. The mechanism underlying the biosynthesis and accumulation of large quantities of rubber particles and resin in the parenchyma tissue of

A rubber transferase activator is necessary for natural rubber biosynthesis in dandelion

Nature Plants, 2015
High-molecular-mass natural rubber is a valuable plant-derived poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) with many industrial and medical applications. It is synthesized by a rubber cis-prenyltransferase (CPT) complex on the surface of rubber particles in specialized latex-producing cells known as laticifers.

Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis by Proteins Associated with Rubber Particles

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2018
Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is an essential raw material used in thousands of products, many of which are absolutely necessary for medical purposes. Natural rubber is obtained from latex, an aqueous emulsion present in the laticiferous vessels of the natural rubber-producing plants.
