Background The processabilities and mechanical properties of natural rubber depend
greatly on its molecular weight (MW) and molecular weight distribution (MWD). However, the …

Natural rubber, produced in the laticifers of the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), is a
valuable biopolymer of commercial and strategic importance. While the basic pathway of …

Increasing demand for natural rubber prompts studies into the mechanisms governing the
productivity of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). It is very interesting to notice that a rubber …

Hevea brasiliensis is the most widely cultivated species for commercial production of natural
rubber (cis-polyisoprene). In this study, 10 040 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were …

Abstract Latex of Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A, Juss.) Mull. Arg.(Brazilian rubber tree)
contains 30–50%(w/w) of natural rubber (cis-1, 4-polyisoprene), which is an important raw …

The cytosolic mevalonate (MVA) pathway in Hevea brasiliensis latex is the conventionally
accepted pathway which provides isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) for cis-polyisoprene …

Natural rubber has unique physical properties that cannot be replaced by products from
other latex-producing plants or petrochemically produced synthetic rubbers. Rubber from …

Abstract Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is the primary commercial source of
natural rubber in the world. Latex regeneration and duration of latex flow after tapping are …

The rubber particle is a specialized organelle in which natural rubber is synthesised and
stored in the laticifers of Hevea brasiliensis (para rubber tree). It has been demonstrated that …

Background Expression patterns of many laticifer-specific gens are closely correlative with
rubber yield of Hevea brasiliensis (para rubber tree). To unveil the mechanisms underlying …
