A research team has identified a key gene from the rubber tree that helps plants better defend themselves against both disease and environmental stress by precisely controlling reactive oxygen species ...

Using satellite imagery to detect plant fluorescence, researchers have developed a way to predict crop yields that can potentially be used widely in developing countries. In developed countries, we ...

Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz) produces natural rubber (cis-1,4,-polyisoprene), almost identical to rubber from the tropical rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), in root latex vessels ...
