AGROVOC

A major C19 steroid produced by the adrenal cortex. It is also produced in small quantities in the testis and the ovary. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to testosterone; androstenedione; estradiol; and estrone. Most of DHEA is sulfated (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) before secretion.

Hevea brasiliensis is the Brazilian rubber tree (the tears tree), which secretes the original rubber material. The rubber tree is of great industrial importance, as it produces latex, which is converted into rubber and about 90% of natural rubber is produced from the rubber trees.
