Introduction

LOCUS DQ004685 1455 bp mRNA linear PLN 17-APR-2007

DEFINITION Hevea brasiliensis 12-oxophytodienoate reductase (opr) mRNA, complete cds.

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

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.
