Molecular Mechanisms of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2020
Natural rubber (NR), principally comprising cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is an industrially important natural hydrocarbon polymer because of its unique physical properties, which render it suitable for manufacturing items such as tires. Presently, industrial NR production depends solely on latex obtained from the Pará rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. In latex,

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...
