Use of a novel R2R3-MYB transcriptional activator of anthocyanin biosynthesis as visual selection marker for rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) transformation

Tiandai Huang et al.

Summary: Anthocyanin production can be used as a visual selection marker for transformation of Hevea Brasiliensis, and can be activated by methyl jasmonate treatment. A novel transcription factor HbAN2 has been isolated and its regulatory roles in anthocyanin biosynthesis have been characterized in tobacco cells and Hevea embryos.

Structure-function studies of ultrahigh molecular weight isoprenes provide key insights into their biosynthesis

Hiroyuki Kajiura et al.

Summary: The study identified three novel Eucommia ulmoides TPT isoforms that synthesized TPI in vitro, with one of them showing a dimeric structure. Mutation analysis revealed the essential role of two amino acids in TPI biosynthesis, and spatiotemporal analysis indicated the involvement of TPI in seed development and maturation in Eucommia ulmoides.

Comparative analysis of latex transcriptomes reveals the potential mechanisms underlying rubber molecular weight variations between the Hevea brasiliensis clones RRIM600 and Reyan7-33-97

Shichao Xin et al.

Summary: The molecular weight and particle size of latex from different aged rubber trees vary, with tree age affecting the gene expressions related to rubber biosynthesis pathways and non-rubber isoprenoid pathways, ultimately influencing rubber quality. The study provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms of molecular weight in rubber biosynthesis and potential targets for genetic improvement of rubber quality.
