Optimizing nitrogen management for young rubber trees: gradients effects on nutrient partitioning and root structural adaptation

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEfficient nitrogen (N) management is crucial for the sustainable cultivation of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) seedlings.MethodsThis study aimed to determine the effects of low (CK, 32.4 g tree⁻¹), medium (MN, 64.8 g tree⁻¹), and high (HN ...

Ficus elastica: Rubber Tree

EDIS, 2018
Often seen as an interior container plant, Rubber Tree has large, 5 to 12-inch-long, thick, glossy evergreen leaves, multiple trunks, and a spreading, irregular canopy. Able to reach 100 feet in height in its native habitat in the jungle but most often seen at about 25 to 40 feet in the landscape, Rubber Tree is useful as a screen, shade, patio, or ...

A Bio‐Functional Mimetic Robot for Versatile Tasks From Cross‐Scale Manipulation to Limb‐Tool Integration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A functionally biomimetic design methodology is presented, enabling a single robot to perform eight distinct functions and manipulate objects across a size range exceeding 2300‐fold. The robot exceeds basic human hand functions and demonstrates remote operation, multi‐object manipulation, humanoid‐robot hand interaction, and narrow‐space inspection ...

SNP identification from RNA sequencing and linkage map construction of rubber tree for anchoring the draft genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hevea brasiliensis, or rubber tree, is an important crop species that accounts for the majority of natural latex production. The rubber tree nuclear genome consists of 18 chromosomes and is roughly 2.15 Gb.

Single‐cell Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Gene Regulatory Networks and Key Genes in the Root Epidermis and Cortical Cells Associated with Early Nodulation in Glycine Max

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell transcriptomics of soybean roots soon after rhizobial inoculation reveals epidermal and cortical cell‐specific programs and gene‐regulatory networks acting in symbiosis establishment. We identify an ethylene‐driven regulatory circuit involving WRKY6.3/6.4 transcription factors targeting select Nod19 genes that promotes infection‐thread ...

An optimized, rhamnolipid-containing cell-free filtrate from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 8–7 exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity and exceptional environmental stability

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe biocontrol strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa 8-7 (PA8-7) produces antimicrobial metabolites, yet its application is limited by low yield and insufficiently characterized environmental stability.MethodsFermentation was optimized through medium

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Comparative proteome and transcriptome analyses suggest the regulation of starch and sucrose metabolism and rubber biosynthesis pathways in the recovery of tapping panel dryness in rubber tree

BMC Plant Biology
Background Tapping panel dryness (TPD) in rubber tree has become the most severe restricting factor of natural rubber production. To date, there is no effective measures to prevent and control TPD.
