EST-SSR Identification and Development through EST Sequences from Rottb. for Genetic Diversity Analysis.

Sago plant ( Rottb.) is one of the most carbohydrate-producing plants in the world. Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) play an important role in the genome and are used extensively compared to other molecular markers.

Transcriptome analysis of Pará rubber tree (H. brasiliensis) seedlings under ethylene stimulation.

Background: Natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyioprene, NR) is an indispensable industrial raw material obtained from the Pará rubber tree (H. brasiliensis). Natural rubber cannot be replaced by synthetic rubber compounds because of the superior resilience, elasticity, abrasion resistance, efficient heat dispersion, and impact resistance of NR.
