Approximately 22.5-56.2 metric t of rubber can be produced per hectare of guayule (20,000-50,000 lb/acre) (54), and researchers at Mendel Biotechnology are working to increase the rubber content of guayule without compromising rubber quality. They are identifying the Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factors that can activate promoters of genes in the rubber...

All known transcription faaors are proteins except for a unique transcription factor (TFIIIR), for RNA Pol III in Bombyx mori, which is an isoleucine tRNA (33). This section provides an overview of the structural and functional characteristics of eukaryotic class II transcription factors which act on RNA Pol II and class II promoters. [Note For more extensive information on transcription factors and their properties, readers should consult the Transcription Factors Database (TFD) compiled by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.]...
