Genetic diversity associated with natural rubber quality in elite genotypes of the rubber tree
Scientific Reports, 2021 The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of natural rubber latex traits among 44 elite genotypes of the rubber tree [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Müell. Arg.].

The tree that responds: taming the rubber tree [PDF]
Vibrant: Virtual Brazilian Anthropology, 2019 Abstract The starting point of this article is the assertion, common among tappers (or seringueiros) in plantations in the interior of São Paulo, that it is necessary to tame rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) at the beginning of each harvest. They use this phrase to indicate the need to accustom the trees, from the first cuts, to establish an optimal ...
