Effect of 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-triethylamine on the Synthensis of cis-Polyisoprene in Guayule Plants (Parthenium argentatum Gray).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The application of 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-triethylamine to guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray var 593) plants results in a 2-fold stimulation of rubber synthesis and a 1.5- to 3-fold increase in mevalonic acid kinase, isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, and rubber transferase. The increase in these enzymic activities accounts in part for the chemical induction of rubber synthesis.

A novel cDNA from Parthenium argentatum Gray enhances the rubber biosynthetic activity in vitro.
Natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is an isoprenoid compound produced exclusively in plants by the action of rubber transferase. Despite a keen interest in revealing the mechanisms of rubber chain elongation and chain length determination, the molecular nature of rubber transferase has not yet been identified. A recent report has revealed that a 24 kDa protein tightly associated with the sma...
متن کاملMagnesium ion regulation of in vitro rubber biosynthesis by Parthenium argentatum Gray.
Natural rubber is produced by a rubber transferase (a cis-prenyltransferase). Rubber transferase uses allylic pyrophosphate to initiate the rubber molecule and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to form the polymer. Rubber biosynthesis also requires a divalent metal cation. Understanding how molecular weight is regulated is important because high molecular weight is required for high quality rubbe...

Cut shoots of guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) were treated with four inhibitors of the glycolate pathway (alpha-hydroxypyridinemethanesulfonic acid; isonicotinic acid hydrazide, glycine hydroxamate, and amino-oxyacetate, AOA) in order to evaluate the role of photorespiratory intermediates in providing precursors for the biosynthesis of rubber. Photorespiratory CO(2) evolution in guayule le...
متن کاملVekcha-thielo, Irina Germination of Guayule (parthenium Argentatum Gray) Pollen on an Artificial Medium
The pollen of five diploid and two tetraploid guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) plants was cultured on nutrient media. It was observed that guayule pollen is released as tetrads of spores which will not ger minate on the media unless they are separated into individual pollen grains. For each plant, the results of the germination tests varied with the day and the time of day of the pollen co...
متن کاملTranscriptome and gene expression analysis in cold-acclimated guayule (Parthenium argentatum) rubber-producing tissue.
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 transcriptome of bark tissue, where rubber is produced, was investigated. A total of 11,748 quality expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were obtained. T...
