中文摘要：

Natural rubber,which is produced as a secondary plant metabolite,has been well recognized as an important raw industrial material due to its unique properties that can not be substituted by any alternative synthetic materials. Although more than 2000 plant species have been shown to possess the ability to synthesize natural rubber,Hevea brasiliensis L. is yet the only one qualified as a commercial source for natural rubber production,which not only has important economic value,but also leads to significant ecological and social benefits to maintain ecological forest microclimate and ease current ecological issues caused by dwindling natural forests. With the growing demand for natural rubber,providing a large number of high-quality rubber planting materials has become a major issue to be solved. In this paper,advances on tissue culture of H. brasiliensis were summarized,which laid the foundation for breeding high-quality rubber planting materials.
