The rubber tree genome shows expansion of gene family associated with rubber biosynthesis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractHevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg, a member of the family Euphorbiaceae, is the sole natural resource exploited for commercial production of high-quality natural rubber. The properties of natural rubber latex are almost irreplaceable by synthetic counterparts for many industrial applications.

Biosynthesis of Natural Rubber: Current State and Perspectives [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Natural rubber is a kind of indispensable biopolymers with great use and strategic importance in human society. However, its production relies almost exclusively on rubber-producing plants Hevea brasiliensis, which have high requirements for growth conditions, and the mechanism of natural rubber biosynthesis remains largely unknown.
