Forests are not only the most predominant of the Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, but are also
the core supply for essential products for human use. However, global climate change and …

The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is grown in tropical regions and is the major source of
natural rubber. Using traditional breeding approaches, the latex yield has increased by …

Climate change has an impact. Droughts will become more common in the future and as a
result is the drop of rubber production. Drought tolerant rubber genotypes, may reduce …

Abstract Background Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin (TKS) is a promising commercial
alternative natural rubber (NR) yielding plant. Cultivating TKS with a high NR content is an …

Natural rubber is extracted from the Hevea tree, through shaving the bark. As a major raw
material source for many industries especially the tyre sector, Hevea rubber clones are …

Genomic selection (GS) could make more efficient the two-stage phenotypic breeding
scheme used for rubber production in Hevea brasiliensis. It was evaluated using two trials in …

Among various latex yielding plants, Para rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is the viable source
of natural rubber for commercial exploitation and which accounts for more than 98% of the …

Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the main feedstock for commercial rubber; however, its
long vegetative cycle has hindered the development of more productive varieties via …

Ultrahigh-density genetic mapping is used extensively for gene discovery, mapping
quantitative trait loci (QTL), and assisting in crop breeding. However, genetic mapping of …

Hevea brasiliensis, a natural rubber producing species, is widely cultivated due to its high
rubber yield potential. Natural rubber is synthesised in the rubber particles of laticifers. Latex …
