Rubber biosynthesis drives the biogenesis and development of rubber particles, the rubber-producing organelles. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummaryRubber particles (RPs) are specialized organelles for the biosynthesis and storage of natural rubber in rubber‐producing plants. However, the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and development of RPs remain unclear. In this study, two latex‐specific cis‐prenyltransferases (CPTs), TkCPT1 and TkCPT2, were identified in Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, with

Natural rubber biosynthesis in plants, the rubber transferase complex, and metabolic engineering progress and prospects. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2019 SummaryNatural 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,
