Researchers of Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences check a rubber tree seedling cultivated inside a test tube at a compound under the academy in Danzhou, south China's Hainan Province, June 20, 2024. Thanks to efforts by three generations of Chinese researchers, the rubber tree breeding cycle in the country has been shortened from 41 years to 27 years, and eight high-yielding rubber tree varieties that are cold-resistant and wind-resistant have been bred.
