| Summary |
"Natural rubber is produced by the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and is derived from the latex produced in laticifers. The process of tapping releases the cytoplasm from laticifer cells and Ethrel (an ethylene releaser) has widely been used as a stimulant to increase latex yield significantly. However, the exact mechanism of Ethrel stimulation of latex flow is still elusive. This project investigated this mechanism by focusing on the contribution of aquaporins and phloem turgor pressure." -- from the Abstract |
