Springer - The Rubber Tree Genome Compendium of Plant Genomes

The Rubber Tree Genome provides the first comprehensive compilation of genome research regarding Hevea brasiliensis. This scientific text brings together findings from three major international groups to offer a detailed look at the genomes of Hevea tree clones and cultivars. Readers can explore omics-driven investigations that cover essential topics such as genome annotation, transcriptome analysis, and gene family studies. The book also details genetic mapping and the metabolic pathways found in latex, which is vital for understanding rubber production. This volume serves as a deep dive into molecular breeding and the fundamental biology of rubber. By including an overview of laticifers, the text provides a historical background that connects traditional rubber biology with modern genomic research. It is a necessary resource for those studying biotechnology and plant genomics.
