GIS-Based Inventory and Sustainability Assessment for Rubber and Cacao in Major Production Areas of the Philippines

Identification of potential expansion areas for rubber is essential to increase local production and improve their quality while taking advantage of the market demand. A database on existing plantations of nine provinces in the Philippines identified as major production areas of rubber and cacao was developed. Using geographic information (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and other …

Functional Genomics-Assisted Development of Gene Markers for Economically Important Traits in Rubber Production Varietal Improvement

Functional genomics involves studies on how genes and intergenic regions of the genome contribute to different biological processes. This is translated to the development of gene-associated molecular markers for utility in rubber production and breeding. Through functional genomics and bioinformatics, gene markers were generated using two approaches: a) genome filtering using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes and …
