Breeding guayule for commercial production
TLDR
As guayule approaches commercialization, breeding will become a priority and other breeding schemes will be tested and utilized such as: mass selection; recurrent selection among sexually reproducing diploids, followed by chromosome doubling; family selection; crossing high yielding apomictic plants; and crossing high producing plants to sexual diploid plants to release new genetic combinations.About:

Jan B. van Beilen,Yves Poirier +1 more
TL;DR: The current production methods and applications of natural Rubber (dry rubber and latex), the threats to the production of natural rubber from the rubber tree, and the current knowledge of the production from guayule and Russian dandelion are summarized.

A sustainability review of domestic rubber from the guayule plant
TL;DR: Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is an arid-adapted, low-input perennial shrub native to Mexico and southern Texas that has received considerable attention as an alternative source of natural rubber as discussed by the authors.

Comparative analysis of the complete sequence of the plastid genome of Parthenium argentatum and identification of DNA barcodes to differentiate Parthenium species and lines
Shashi Kumar,Shashi Kumar,Frederick M. Hahn,Colleen M. McMahan,Katrina Cornish,Maureen C. Whalen +5 more
TL;DR: The sequences of plastid genomes from three other members of the Asteraceae, Lactuca sativa, Guitozia abyssinica and Helianthus annuus revealed details of the evolution of the four genomes, and it was demonstrated that the P. argentatum chloroplast genome sequence is most closely related to that of H.annuus.

The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication
TL;DR: On the Origin of Species (OOS) as mentioned in this paper is the seminal work of evolutionary biology, which is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century scientific investigation; it is a key text in the development of Darwin's own thought and of the wider discipline of evolution biology.

Natural rubber: biology, cultivation and technology.
M. R. Sethuraj,N. M. Mathew +1 more
TL;DR: The rubber industry in China under climatic stresses in China and the outlook for natural rubber production and consumption is bleak, according to the authors, who suggest that Guayule as an alternative source of natural rubber should be considered.

Hypoallergenicity of guayule rubber particle proteins compared to Hevea latex proteins.
Deborah J. Siler,Katrina Cornish +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that antibodies raised against proteins extracted from films of ammoniated Hevea latex did not recognize latex proteins from two other rubber producing plant species, guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) and Ficus elastica Roxb, indicating that HeVea latex allergy can be circumvented using rubber from other species.
