Trees, tenure and conflict: Rubber in colonial Benin [PDF]

Journal of Development Economics, 2014
Tree crops have changed land tenure in Africa. Farmers have acquired permanent, alienable rights, but have also faced disputes with competing claimants and the state. Para rubber had many similar effects in the Benin region of colonial Nigeria. Farmers initially obtained land by traditional methods.

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 ...

Multi-Target Antifungal Mechanism of Vapor-Phase Cymbopogon citratus Essential Oil: Effective Control of Postharvest Botrytis cinerea and Powdery Mildew

Foods
Botrytis cinerea poses severe postharvest losses in horticultural products, while synthetic fungicides raise food safety concerns. This study developed a GRAS-compliant antifungal strategy using vapor-phase Cymbopogon citratus essential oil (EO).

Transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular mechanisms of rubber biosynthesis and laticifer differentiation during rubber seed germination

Frontiers in Plant Science
The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of natural rubber synthesis and laticifer differentiation have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we conducted a time-series transcriptome analysis of five rubber tree tissues at four stages of ...

Funtumia elastica (west African rubber tree).

, 2020
Abstract Funtumia elastica is a medium-sized rubber tree native to tropical West Africa. It is considered an invasive species in forest understorey and naturally disturbed areas in Samoa and Martinique. It produces an immense quantity of seeds that are adapted for wind dispersal and its establishment has been favoured by fire and ...

RUBBER TREE MINI CLONAL GARDEN: ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY OF THE NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION IN THE PRODUCTION OF PROPAGULES

Revista Árvore
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important forest species that yields natural rubber. Traditionally, rubber tree grafts are cultivated in clonal gardens on soil, which necessitates enormous acreage.

Modelling the rubber tree system

, 2006
An effort is made to develop a model that aims to predict the growth and production of rubber under different environmental conditions as well as different agroforestry options. The work begins with the development of the simple static model, namely Hevea Version 1.0, which acts as a precursor for development of a dynamic model.

Electrical Treeing in Silicone Rubber

, 2011
Electrical treeing has been widely studied in a range of polymeric materials. In these investigations, the morphology and PD patterns associated with the growth of electrical trees in a model transparent silicone rubber were investigated using a new system recently developed at Southampton.
