Lipid droplets, also known as oil bodies or lipid bodies, are plant organelles that
compartmentalize neutral lipids as a hydrophobic matrix covered by proteins embedded in a …

Natural rubber (NR) is a nonfungible and valuable biopolymer, used to manufacture~ 50
000 rubber products, including tires and medical gloves. Current production of NR is derived …

Abstract The Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an economically important tropical tree
species that produces natural rubber, an essential industrial raw material. Here we present a …

Eukaryotic cells compartmentalize neutral lipids into organelles called lipid droplets (LD s),
and while much is known about the role of LD s in storing triacylglycerols in seeds, their …

Natural rubber has been an essential commodity not only for the tyre industry but also for
more than 50,000 products that hold elasticity as an attribute. Rubber is obtained from the …

Abstract Natural rubber (NR, cis-1, 4-polyisoprene) is applied in over 50,000 products. It has
unique properties, which cannot be matched by synthetic rubber. The pará rubber tree …

Natural rubber (NR) is stored in latex as rubber particles (RPs), rubber molecules
surrounded by a lipid monolayer. Rubber transferase (RTase), the enzyme responsible for …

The latex collected from the Hevea brasiliensis tree is today the only commercial source of
natural rubber (NR), the cis-1, 4-polyisoprene polymer, a strategic raw material. The Hevea …

Natural rubber (NR) with complex components has superior mechanical properties to
synthetic high cis-1, 4-polyisoprene. It is still a challenge to explore the reason why NR owns …

In this article, we review the modification of natural rubber (NR) latex into the engineered
particles for make use of them in functional nanocomposites. The review focuses on tuning …
