Description
Technical Field

[0002] Currently, over 2,500 plant species worldwide are known to biosynthesize natural rubber, but the primary source of commercial natural rubber remains the rubber tree. Natural rubber in rubber trees is synthesized and distributed within the latex duct cells, primarily composed of cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Rubber particles are specialized organelles within the latex ducts that polymerize and store rubber hydrocarbons. Their core group is a hydrophobic rubber hydrocarbon, enclosed by a single phospholipid membrane. Proteins on the surface of the rubber particle membrane, including small rubber particle protein (SRRP), rubber elongation factor (REF), cis-isopentenyltransferase (CPT), and rubber transferase (HRT), form a complex that polymerizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) into high-molecular-weight rubber hydrocarbons.
