Springer - The Rubber Tree Genome Compendium of Plant Genomes

The Rubber Tree Genome by Springer provides the first comprehensive compilation of genome research regarding Hevea brasiliensis. This scientific text details the genomes of various Hevea tree clones and cultivars as described by three major international research groups. Readers can explore omics-driven investigations covering essential topics such as genome annotation, transcriptome analysis, and gene family studies. The book also covers genetic mapping, metabolic pathways in latex, and molecular breeding techniques. To provide necessary context for modern genome analysis, the text includes an overview of fundamental rubber biology and historical background on laticifers. This compendium serves as a foundational resource for understanding the genetic makeup and biological processes of the rubber tree.
