Rubber production and especially its increase absolutely depend on the activation of the latex-producing metabolism. Can the latex-producing metabolism activation mechanism developed by rubber tree lead to higher yield without exogenous hormonal stimulation? In order to verify this decisive hypothesis, several works, carried out for nine years in S...

The cultivated rubber clones are sensitive to latex harvesting regimes according to their laticiferous metabolism. Thus, in order to determine the best latex harvesting systems of clones with low or slow metabolism, six latex harvesting technologies are applied to them in a bulk statistical device from Fisher to four rehearsals. The rubber is tappe...

The cultivated rubber clones are sensitive to latex harvesting regimes according to their laticiferous metabolism. Thus, in order to determine the best latex harvesting systems of clones with active or rapid metabolism (IRCA 18, IRCA 130, PB 235, PB 260 and PB 330), six latex harvesting technologies are applied to them in a bulk statistical device...

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is known for delicacy and also for medicinal properties. The present work aim to study the phytochemical screening of Hibiscus sabdariffa for various medicinally important compounds and their quantification. The results showed that alkaloids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, sterols and tannins are pres...

... Since rubber tree transforms sucrose into natural rubber, cis polyisoprene, as a product of the tree's defense mechanism in response to human interventions (latex harvesting) and environmental conditions, the healthy physiological status of the tree plays a crucial role in natural rubber production (Adou et al., 2017;Obouayeba et al., 2011). Biochemical compositions, mainly sucrose (Suc), inorganic phosphorus (Pi), and reduced thiols (R-SH) contents, are analyzed to evaluate the physiological status and yield potential of rubber trees (Christophe et al., 2018). As the sucrose are transformed into rubber molecules in the laticiferous system, high Suc content in the rubber latex indicates less sucrose utilization in the defense mechanism. ...
