Hevea brasiliensis, the commercial source of latex, is another member of the family Euphorbiaceae that is vegetatively propagated. The top 4 countries producing rubber are Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Malaysia. Rubber tree is thought to be derived from an ancestral polyploid like Manihot esculenta, cassava. Its economic importance has More...prompted active investigations on the biological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of rubber biosynthesis. Less...
