Abstract

Nine unique cDNAs from a Hevea brasiliensis latex library encoding the rubber biosynthesis stimulator protein (RBSP) previously identified as the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A were isolated. At the amino acid level seven protein isoforms were deduced from the cDNA sequences. Northern analysis revealed RBSP to be more highly expressed in latex than in leaves but its expression in latex was not significantly altered by ethephon treatment.
