DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.05.070
Abstract: Abstract A comparative cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) including raw material acquisitions, rubber production and transportation of synthetic rubber (SBR) and two natural rubbers, namely imported Hevea and US-grown guayule, was conducted to quantify environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2021.01.012
Abstract: Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) provides the marker density required for genomic predictions (GP). However, GBS gives a high proportion of missing SNP data which, for species without a chromosome-level genome assembly, must be imputed without knowing the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12870-019-2209-9
Abstract: BackgroundSucrose (Suc), as the precursor molecule for rubber biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis, is transported via phloem-mediated long-distance transport from leaves to laticifers in trunk bark, where latex (cytoplasm of laticifers) is tapped for rubber. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.743506
Abstract: Latex flow in Hevea brasiliensis (the Para rubber tree), the sole commercial source of natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene, NR), renders it uniquely suited for the study of plant stress responses. Calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinases (CIPK)… read more here.
