Preliminary Study Of Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation With Polyhydroxyalkanoate Genes For Rubber Tree Hevea Brasiliensis Muell. Arg. Clone Pb 350
Hevea brasiliensis (H. brasiliensis), better known as rubber tree, is the main producer of natural rubber. H. brasiliensis clone PB 350 is one of the clones recommended by the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) as a high yielding latex timber clone (LTC). This clone is a good candidate for heterologous pr...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a biodegradable bioplastic produced by prokaryotes. While PHA has the potential to replace conventional plastics, the high cost of production makes it not feasible.
