"Unraveling the Natural Rubber Biosynthesis in Rubber Tree Genetic Perspectives" is a scientific book that focuses on the genetics and biosynthesis of natural rubber. The book specifically shines a light on Hevea brasiliensis, a species of rubber tree commonly used in commercial rubber production. The book covers various topics related to the rubber tree, including the history of Hevea in Malaysia, its economic importance, natural rubber production, transcriptome analysis of selected rubber trees, comparative transcriptome between high and low-yield from isoprenoid biosynthesis, rubber synthesis, transcription factors and sucrose synthesis as well as quantification of the expression level of genes related to rubber biosynthesis. The authors explore the molecular mechanisms involved in rubber biosynthesis, including the role of enzymes, genes, and regulatory factors. The book includes case studies on the application of genetic analysis in rubber tree breeding, including the identification of high-yielding clones and the genes that influence high natural rubber yield in rubber clones. The authors also discuss the potential of molecular marker development to enhance rubber breeding programs through marker-assisted selection. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the genetic and molecular basis of natural rubber biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis and the potential applications of this knowledge in rubber tree breeding and biotechnology.
