commercial source of natural rubber (NR). NR is a latex polymer with high elasticity …

Background Natural rubber is an economically important material. Currently the Pará rubber
tree, Hevea brasiliensis is the main commercial source. Little is known about rubber …

Hevea brasiliensis, being the only source of commercial natural rubber, is an extremely
economically important crop. In an effort to facilitate biological, biochemical and molecular …

Hevea brasiliensis is the most recent domesticated tree species from Amazonian rain forest
producing latex of commercial utility. Major hurdles for genetic improvement of rubber tree …

The para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is a major producer of high-quality natural rubber,
accounting for more than 98% of the total production worldwide. Conventional breeding …

Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important economic species as it is the sole
commercial producer of high-quality natural rubber. Here, we report a de novo hybrid …

The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, produces natural rubber that serves as an essential
industrial raw material. Here, we present a high-quality reference genome for a rubber tree …
