Downregulation of Squalene Synthase Broadly Impacts Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Guayule

Downregulation of Squalene Synthase Broadly Impacts Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Guayule

Production of natural rubber by <i>Parthenium argentaum</i> (guayule) requires increased yield for economic sustainability. An RNAi gene silencing strategy was used to engineer isoprenoid biosynthesis by downregulation of squalene synthase (SQS), such that the pool of farnesyl diphosphat...
