Abstract
Hevea brasiliensis is an original rubber crop from south america that is mostly cultivated in southeast asia, including malaysia, the sixth largest producer in the world. This species is grown for its rubber latex and wood for consumer sectors such as tyres, gloves, and furniture, contributing to malaysia’s export earnings of rm17.8 billion in 2019. H. Brasiliensis is the most productive rubber-producing crop with the highest rubber content (%) with 15-30 (w/w dwt) compared to the other alternative types, such as guayule, and dandelion. Natural rubber latex (nrl) of h. Brasiliensis is made of 5% non-isoprene species, comprising many unique proteins widely investigated on their allergenicity. Protein function is heavily determined by its post-translational modifications (ptms), with one of the most significant ptms being glycosylation. Despite its importance in biological processes, nrl's qualitative aspect of protein, especially glycan, is poorly known because of its macro- and microheterogeneity complexes. Hence, to explore the proteome and glycoproteome of the nrl of h. Brasiliensis, mass spectrometry analyses were conducted on the hevea clone rrim 2025 which is known for high rubber yield and large girth
