Fig. 1From: Transcriptome analysis of rubber biosynthesis in guayule (Parthenium argentatum gray)Verification of rubber biosynthesis induction in guayule plants by exposure to simulated winter conditions for 2 months. Washed rubber particle extractions from plants grown in simulated summer (a) and winter (b) conditions. c Quantitative RT-PCR of rubber biosynthetic enzymes (AOS, alllene oxide synthase; CPT, cis prenyl transferase; FPS, farnesyl diphosphate synthase; SRPP, small rubber particle protein). Significant differences between induced and control are shown (t-test, * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001)Back to article page
