Natural rubber is a valuable and nonfungible raw material that has numerous applications in various industries. Its biosynthesis occurs in the laticiferous vessels of plants that produce natural rubber, which is of great interest for biotechnology. This review covers the rubber-producing plants and the biosynthetic pathways and genes influencing rubber quality and quantity. It also summarizes the recent progress in applying genome editing techniques to these plants, with an emphasis on Hevea brasiliensis, Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Parthenium argentatum, Eucommia ulmoides and Lactuca species. Genome editing technologies, especially CRISPR/Cas9, have provided unprecedented precision, efficiency and specificity for genetic manipulation. CRISPR-based genome editing has been proposed to enhance rubber quantity and quality in these plants. This review evaluates the recent research developments in the use of genome editing to enhance traits such as disease resistance, latex production and tree growth in rubber-producing plants. Furthermore, it discusses the current challenges and future prospects of genome editing for these plants and its potential impact on the rubber industry. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in genome editing for rubber-producing plants and highlights the promising opportunities for further research and innovation in this field.
