1 a white liquid produced by particular plants, esp. rubber trees, or an artificial substance similar to this, used esp. in paint, glue, and cloth:
Before use, the balloon was blown up and left overnight so that the latex would stretch and the balloon become compliant.
The role of latex agglutination in describing this pattern was essential.
The genotype indicates the plant's genetic constitution and determines its inherent ability to grow and produce latex within the environment provided.
How might we take the impacts of latex into account in our everyday work setting?
Analysis of the photograph of the gypsum cast and the latex cast at hand indicates that the casts were made from the same specimen.
However, we explicitly considered the presence of latex and resins because their functional role in mediating post-fire mortality remains poorly known.
We should also explore the possibility of recycling products made with latex.
Approximately 10 to 20% of the latex harvested from trees is shipped as latex, while the rest is processed into other forms of natural rubber.
