Item Accumulation of free proline in bark and latex of Hevea brasiliensis affected by brown bast(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1986) Wickramasinghe, S.I.; Yapa, P.A.J.; De Soysa, T.V.W.Free proline accumulation in clone RRIC 101 of Hevea brasiliensis was investigated. The bark and the latex samples collected from both healthy and brown bast effected trees were analysed for free prline content. The average bark proline concentration/unit present in the brown bast trees was found to be considerable higher (P = 0.10) than that of healthy trees. The accumulation of free proline in latex was found to be significant in brown bast trees.Item Coir. a versatile raw material to produce stationary media for biological wastewater treatment systems(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2007) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Effect of bio-brush medium . a coir fibre based biomass retainer on treatment efficiency of an anaerobic filter type reactor(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2005) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Effect of bio-brush medium . a coir fibre based biomass retainer on treatment efficiency of an anaerobic filter type reactor(Rubber Research Institute . Agalawatta, 2005) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Effect of nitrogen and processing chemicals on the treatment efficiency of crepe rubber factory wastewater(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 2003) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Effect of nitrogen and processing chemicals on the treatment efficiency of crepe rubber factory wastewater(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2003) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Effect of storage hardening on the PRI of chemically treated rubber(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1972) Yapa, P.A.J.; Karunaratne, S.W.Item Enzyme deproteinization of hevea latex 111 clonal suitability for papain treatment(Rubber Research Institute. Colombo, 1979) Yapa, P.A.J.; Lionel, W.A.Item Enzyme deproteinization of hevea latex 111 clonal suitability for papain treatment(Rubber Research Institute:Colombo, 1979) Yapa, P.A.J.; Lionel, W.A.Item Enzyme deproteinization of hevea latex ii the use of papain in Rss manufacture(Rubber Research Institute:Colombo, 1979) Yapa, P.A.J.; Lionel, W.A.Item Enzyme deproteinization of hevea latex ii the use of papain in Rss manufacture(Rubber Research Institute. Colombo, 1979) Yapa, P.A.J.; Lionel, W.A.Item Harvesting the rubber tree once in four days: a solution to current issues in the rubber industry in Sri Lanka(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka, 2011) Rodrigo, V.H.L.; Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Fernando, K.M.E.P.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item The heritability of raw rubber properties in a Hevea population(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka:Agalawatta, 1997) Yapa, P.A.J.; Fernando, D.M.; Wickramasinghe, W.N.; Peiris, B.M.S.G.The heritability of raw rubber properties in a HEVEA population was studied and it was found to be low in the case of the population investigated. However some useful correlations between certain properties such as Wallace Plasticity, colour and mooney viscosity were observed.Item Possibility of treating rubber factory wastewater in biological reactors using media with low specific surface area(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2007) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item Possibility of treating rubber factory wastewater in biological reactors using media with low specific surface area(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 2007) Kudaligama, K.V.V.S.; Thurul, W.M.; Yapa, P.A.J.Item The preparation and properties of low nitrogen constant viscosity rubber(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1975) Yapa, P.A.J.Item Proteolytic action of bromelain on Hevea latex(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatte, 1995) Yapa, P.A.J.Item Serum protein patterns in the healthy and brown bast affected trees of Hevea(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatte, 1985) Prematillake, S.P.; Yapa, P.A.J.; Bamunuarachchi, A.Serum protein patterns of healthy and brown bast affected Hevea trees of six clones viz, RRIC 7, RRIC 100, RRIC 101, RRIM 600 and PB 86, were investigated. Total protein content in serum decreased noticeably in all six clones when affected by brown bast, the highest reduction being 50perc. in PB 86. Gel electrophoretic separation of serum proteins complemented these findings, with the disappearence of a number of bands and reduced intensity of the remaining bands. Protein content at different heights showed a high degree of reduction extending upwords from the tapping panel. Proteins are indicative of the spread of brown bast to neighbouring tissues at varying degrees although they may not in a noticeable changes in external appearence or in latex yields.Item Some aspects of biochemical changes due to maturation of acid and papain treated Hevea latex(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 1998) Dissanayake, W.; Yapa, P.A.J.Biochemical changes that occur due to maturation of acid and papain treated Hevea latex were investigated. An increase in bacterial population in latex of both acid and papain treated, was significantly higher than that in acid treated latex. Higher microbial activity correlated with decreases in carbohydrate and amino acid levels in serum. Maturation of papain treated latex, enhances protein digestion and reduction in ash content without any adverse effect on major raw rubber properties.Item Some aspects of biochemical changes due to maturation of acid and papain treated Hevea latex(Rubber Research Institute.
