Rubber Tree

Abstract: Hevea brasiliensis (Para rubber tree) is the major source of commercial natural rubber (cis‐1,4‐polyisoprene). Rubber produced in specialized cells called laticifers is one of the most important biological molecules used for the manufacture of about 35000 products. Being a cross‐pollinated perennial tree species, genetic improvement through conventional breeding is a rather slow process. Biotechnology would play an important role in the future of the rubber industry. Plant regeneration… Show more

“…A combination of four microsatellite markers was used to discriminate uniquely 27 Hevea clones and also to generate some clonespecifi c allelic profi les (Saha et al, 2005). The rubber breeding objective is to provide superior and mature budded clones for latex production, rubber-wood production, quality rubber products and environmental protection through carbon sequestration (Venkatachalam et al, 2013). Hevea breeding is time-consuming and expensive.…”
