The natural rubber producing plant guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) stores carbohydrates mainly in the form of fructans, synthesized and stored in the same tissues at the same time as the rubber polymer, and a potential source of carbon for rubbe

We report functional genomics studies of a CYP74 rubber particle protein from Parthenium argentatum, commonly called guayule. Previously identified as an allene oxide synthase (AOS), this CYP74 constitutes the most abundant protein found in guayule r

Natural rubber biosynthesized via the isoprenoid pathway by domestic plant sources, such as guayule (Parthenium argentatum) may be more economically sustainable with improved yields, through breeding or targeted metabolic engineering of the isoprenoi

Natural rubber biosynthesis in guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is associated with moderately cold night temperatures. To begin to dissect the molecular events triggered by cold temperatures that govern rubber synthesis induction in guayule, the

Leaves of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) produce a small amount of low molecular weight natural rubber (NR) and this species has potential as a rubber-producing crop plant. Quantifying NR in plant tissue has traditionally been accomplished using Soxhl

Economic and sustainable biofuel production requires high process efficiency. The choice of biomass and the conversion technology employed to produce renewable fuels determine the product yields, fuel quality and consequently the process efficiency.

Guayule is a perennial shrub grown in the southwestern United States that is used to produce high quality, natural rubber latex. However, only about 10% of the plant material is used for latex production; the remaining biomass, called bagasse, can be

Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is a vital industrial material synthesized by plants via a side branch of the isoprenoid pathway by the enzyme rubber transferase. While the specific structure of this enzyme is not yet defined, based on activity

Biotechnology provides the tools to develop industrial products for modern society that would not be possible in any other way (3). A biotechnological approach to improve sunflower was initiated in 2001 in a collaborative research project that involv

There are strategic as well as economic incentives to develop a renewable, United States-based supply of natural rubber. Currently, nearly all commercial natural rubber comes from a single species, the Brazilian rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and t
