First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Heterologous expression of FTO in latex enhances rubber content by modulating the mRNA stability in the rubber biosynthesis pathway

Industrial Crops and Products
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a significant role in plant development and stress tolerance. However, m6A atlas and functions in natural rubber (NR) production remain unexplored in rubber-producing plants.

Comparative transcriptomics between high and low rubber producing Taraxacum kok-saghyz R. plants

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Taraxacum kok-saghyz R. (Tks) is a promising alternative species to Hevea brasiliensis for production of high quality natural rubber (NR). A comparative transcriptome analysis of plants with differential production of NR will contribute to ...

Metabolic routes affecting rubber biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis latex [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011
The cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) pathway in Hevea brasiliensis latex is the conventionally accepted pathway which provides isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) for cis-polyisoprene (rubber) biosynthesis. However, the plastidic 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway may be an alternative source of IPP since its more recent discovery in plants ...

Distinct Microbiota and Functional Pathway Profiles Define Success and Failure in Regenerative Endodontic Treatment

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterize the intracanal microbiota and identify key microbial taxa and functional pathways associated with regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) outcomes. Methodology In this observational cohort study, 196 samples were collected at five time points from external tooth surfaces (T1, T4) and root canals (T2, T3, T5).

The biosynthesis of rubber: Incorporation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate into purified rubber particles by a soluble latex-serum enzyme [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1966
1. The rubber particles in Hevea brasiliensis latex have been partially purified by; washing' with buffer solution, and separated into active fractions of different particle size. 2. The enzyme responsible for incorporating isopentenyl pyrophosphate into rubber is distributed between the surface of the rubber particles and the aqueous serum phase of ...
