Abstract:Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the main feedstock for commercial rubber; however, its long vegetative cycle has hindered the development of more productive varieties via breeding programs. With the availability of H. brasiliensis genomic data, several linkage maps with associated quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been constructed and suggested as a tool for marker-assisted selection (MAS). Nonetheless, novel genomic strategies are still needed, and genomic selection (GS) may facilitate rubber tree breed… Show more
