--HbOYE--

Introduction

LOCUS DQ004685

SIZE 1455 bp

DEFINITION Hevea brasiliensis 12-oxophytodienoate reductase (opr)

HbOYE stands for Hevea brasiliensis Old Yellow Enzyme which is the reductase which bolsters the production of cireonellol from geraniol.

The diagram shows the complete pathway of the production of citronellol and OYE is emplyed in the final step of the process.

The sequence of forward primer (NEB-HbOYE-F-EcoRI) is: CGGAATTCATGGCTGAAACTGGAACAG

The sequence of reverse primer (NEB-HbOYE1-R-PstI) is: AACTGCAGTCAAAGGCGTGATCGTGGCT

SOURCE Hevea brasiliensis

Hevea brasiliensis, the Pará rubber tree, sharinga tree, seringueira, or, most commonly, the rubber tree or rubber plant, is a tree belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is the most economically important member of the genus Hevea because the milky latex extracted from the tree is the primary source of natural rubber.

H. brasiliensis is a tall deciduous tree growing to a height of up to 40 m (131 ft) in the wild, but cultivated trees are usually much smaller because drawing off the latex restricts the growth of the tree. The trunk is cylindrical and may have a swollen, bottle-shaped base. The bark is some shade of brown, and the inner bark oozes latex when damaged. The leaves have three leaflets and are spirally arranged. The inflorescence include separate male and female flowers. The flowers are pungent, creamy-yellow and have no petals. The fruit is a capsule that contains three large seeds; it opens explosively when ripe.
