Abstract
Rubber particles of the evolutionary divergent and anatomically distinct species Ficus elastica Hevea brasiliensis and Parthenium argentatum were analysed and compared. We have shown that rubber particles of the three species have intriguing differences in size relative proportions of long- and short-chain rubber and their protein profiles although they share fundamental similarities in particle architecture and function. We propose a model for rubber particle architecture in which proteins are located in large complexes at the particle surface. Our results suggest that successful rubber production in other species may entail many of the same commonalities observed here.
