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.

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 ...

Identification and reconstitution of the rubber biosynthetic machinery on rubber particles from Hevea brasiliensis

eLife, 2016
Natural rubber (NR) is stored in latex as rubber particles (RPs), rubber molecules surrounded by a lipid monolayer. Rubber transferase (RTase), the enzyme responsible for NR biosynthesis, is believed to be a member of the cis-prenyltransferase (cPT ...
