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 …

Currently, Hevea brasiliensis has been only one resource for commercial natural rubber
production. Rubber tree, H. brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss.) Muell. Arg., commonly known as …

Commercially used natural rubber (cis-1, 4-polyisoprene) is a secondary metabolite of the
rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Previous studies have shown the involvement of a prenyl …

Natural rubber (NR) latex collected from the Hevea trees exists as a colloidal suspension
(Verhaar, 1959). The amount of latex obtained on each tapping is about 300 mL. The …

Rubber biosynthesis requires the action of specific enzymes known as cis-
prenyltransferases (CPTs). These enzymes are responsible for the sequential addition of …

Abstract Natural rubber (NR, cis-1, 4-polyisoprene) is applied in over 50,000 products. It has
unique properties, which cannot be matched by synthetic rubber. The pará rubber tree …

Parthenium argentatum is a prime candidate for development as a new crop for
theproduction of natural rubber (cis-1, 4-polyisoprene). The rubber obtained from P …

Hevein is a chitin-binding protein that is present in laticifers of the rubber tree (Hevea
brasiliensis). A cDNA clone (HEV1) encoding hevein was isolated by using the polymerase …

A natural rubber was identified and characterized for the first time in the latex of the
perennial Mediterranean shrub Euphorbia characias. Four different methods, ie, acetone …

Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important industrial crop for natural rubber
production. Ethylene, as a stimulant of latex production in H. brasiliensis, has been widely …
