Abstract:

Rubber biosynthesis in plants underpins the production of this strategically vital polymer. A fundamental understanding of the regulation of rate and polymer quality is essential to the development of alternate rubber-producing crops and new rubber materials with novel properties. Alternate rubber crops are needed to meet the projected shortfalls in global rubber production caused by the burgeoning economies of China and india.
