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 ...

Integrating physiological and transcriptomic analyses identifies key regulators of latex regeneration in Hevea brasiliensis

Industrial Crops and Products
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) represents the primary commercial source of natural rubber worldwide. Rubber yield in this species is critically dependent on latex regeneration capacity, which varies substantially among clones such as ...

Functional annotation of genomic sequences of Hevea brasiliensis [PDF]

, 2013
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is a recent domesticated endemic tree species from Amazonian rain forest. It is an important crop to rubber industries due the latex producing, which has better quality compared to the synthetic rubber.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Self‐Adhesive Conductive Elastomers for Gel‐Free Biopotential Recording

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
σPOMaC, a self‐adhesive conductive citrate elastomer incorporating PEDOT:PSS and DBSA, enables gel‐free biopotential electrodes with stable conductivity and intrinsic skin adhesion. The composite exhibits low resistivity (∼ 0.02 Ω·cm), robust electrical performance during repeated use, and reliable on‐body ECG acquisition comparable to Ag/AgCl ...
