Production of natural rubber from Para rubber tree

Plant Biotechnology, 2009
Natural rubber is one of the most important polymers produced by plants because it is a strategic raw material used in more than 40,000 products. It has unique properties as a polymer owing to its specific structure, its high molecular weight and yet-to-be-defined contributions of minor components in the latex.

The tree that responds: taming the rubber tree [PDF]

Vibrant: Virtual Brazilian Anthropology, 2019
Abstract The starting point of this article is the assertion, common among tappers (or seringueiros) in plantations in the interior of São Paulo, that it is necessary to tame rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) at the beginning of each harvest. They use this phrase to indicate the need to accustom the trees, from the first cuts, to establish an optimal ...

Genome-Wide Identification of AP2/ERF Family Genes in Rubber Tree: Two HbAP2/ERF Genes Regulate the Expression of Multiple Natural Rubber Biosynthesis Genes

Agronomy
The AP2/ERF (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive factor) superfamily is one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and is not only vital for plant growth and development but also participates in responding to various abiotic stresses.

Mitochondrial genome variation and intergenomic sequence transfers in Hevea species

Frontiers in Plant Science
Among the Hevea species, rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the most important source of natural rubber. In previous studies, we sequenced the complete nuclear and chloroplast genomes of Hevea species, providing an invaluable resource for studying their

Transcriptomic Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Hevea brasiliensis Under Short-Term Cold Stress

Plants
Cold stress limits the growth and productivity of Hevea brasiliensis, the primary source of natural rubber. This study investigated early transcriptomic responses in Reyan ‘7-33-97’ seedlings exposed to 4 °C, 10 °C, and 15 °C for 1, 2, and 4 h with room ...
