A preliminary comparative histodimensional studies, such as wood to bark ratio, total area of parenchyma cells and bast fibers, height and diameter of vascular rays, pith diameter and phenological parameters, height of the plant, perimeter of the stem, dry weight of the stem and leaves have been investigated for the low and high rubber bearing Guayule plants growing in same and different climatic regions of India. A plausible correlation is found between the percentage of rubber content and anatomical characters in the investigated varieties.
