摘要

Natural rubber is an irreplaceable raw material vital to industry, transportation, medicine and defense, largely produced from clonal plantations of Hevea brasiliensis in South-east Asia. Additional rubber-producing crops are greatly desired to increase biodiversity, protect supplies, and provide a safe alternative for people suffering from Type Ⅰ latex protein allergy. Basic and applied research approaches were used to make the production of latex from Parthenium argentatum (guayule) a commercial reality. Also, similarities and differences in rubber biosynthesis among the evolutionarily divergent rubber-producing species, Hevea brasiliensis, Ficus elastica and P. argentatwn have been characterized from biochemical and structural perspectives. Investigation of the contrasting roles of initiator, monomer and cofactor in the regulation of biosynthetic rate (a prime determinant of yield) and molecular weight (a prime determinant of quality) has revealed some unique features, which may prove useful to the biotechnological development of alternative rubber crops, such as sunflower, and improvement of existing ones, such as guayule. These classical biochemical approaches are now being supplemented by genomics and proteomics approaches, including reverse genetics in model systems, to functionally identify and exploit additional proteins and genes involved in rubber biosynthesis.
