摘要：
A reduction in the amount of functional PaAos in guayule results in the production of increased amounts rubber compared to the amount of rubber produced by wild-type guayule having a non-reduced amount of functional PaAos. Further, the guayule with reduced amount of functional PaAos are larger than wild-type guayule and thus have larger rubber yield per acre than wild-type guayule. Reduction of the amount of functional PaAos in guayule can be caused by genetic alterations in PaAos. Guayule having PaAos with a specific amino acid sequence produces more rubber than guayule with PaAos having a different amino acid sequence. Thus, one can use the sequence differences as a biomarker for selecting high rubber producing guayule plants.
