Natural rubber (NR) is a nonfungible and valuable biopolymer, used to manufacture~ 50
000 rubber products, including tires and medical gloves. Current production of NR is derived …

Natural rubber is a unique biopolymer of strategic importance that, in many of its most
significant applications, cannot be replaced by synthetic alternatives. The rubber tree Hevea …

Natural rubber, obtained almost exclusively from the Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis),
is a unique biopolymer of strategic importance that, in many of its most significant …

This review article aims to gather all the knowledge on two important proteins associated
with Hevea brasiliensis rubber particles: namely the rubber elongation factor (REF) and the …

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 …

REF (Hevb1) and SRPP (Hevb3) are two major components of Hevea brasiliensis latex, well
known for their allergenic properties. They are obviously taking part in the biosynthesis of …

Two protein families required for rubber biosynthesis in Taraxacum brevicorniculatum have
recently been characterized, namely the cis‐prenyltransferases (Tb CPT s) and the small …

As for all materials, a study of NR and the relations existing between its structure and
properties require the knowledge of the different structural levels. These structural levels are …

Plant cytosolic lipid droplets are storage organelles that accumulate hydrophobic molecules.
They are found in many tissues and their general structure includes an outer lipid monolayer …

In Hevea tree, rubber elongation factor (REF) is a key gene involved in rubber biosynthesis.
Since the immaturity period for Hevea is 6 years, identification of molecular marker for latex …
