'''''Artocarpus''''' is a [[genus]] of about 60 trees of Southeast [[Asia]]n origin and the Pacific, belonging to the [[Morus (plant)|mulberry]] family, [[Moraceae]]. All ''Artocarpus'' species are laticiferous [[tree]]s or [[shrub]]s whose leaves, twigs and the stem can produce a milky [[sap]]. They are [[Plant sexuality|monoecious]], with unisexual [[flower]]s, with both sexes on the same plant. The small, greenish, female flowers grow on short, fleshy spikes. After pollination they grow into a syncarpous [[fruit]], which can become very large. The ovary is superior. The stipulated [[Leaf|leaves]] vary from small and entire (''[[Artocarpus integer]]'') to large and lobed (''[[Artocarpus altilis]]''). The cordate leaves of ''A. altilis'' end in a long, sharp tip. Several [[species]] in the genus bear edible fruit and are commonly cultivated: ''Artocarpus altilis'' ([[Breadfruit]]), ''Artocarpus integer'' ([[Cempedak]]), ''Artocarpus heterophyllus'' ([[Jackfruit]]) and ''Artocarpus odoratissimus'' ([[Marang]]). In the most recent revision of ''Artocarpus'', the highly variable species ''Artocarpus communis'' contains the following three species of breadfruit : ''Artocarpus altilis'', ''Artocarpus mariannensis'' and ''Artocarpus camansi''. Breadfruit and jackfruit are cultivated widely in the tropical Southeast Asia. Other species are cultivated locally for their timber, fruit or edible seeds. {{Inc| Artocarpus (arlos, bread, and carpos, fruit). Moraceae. Bread-fruit. Milky-juiced tropical trees, some of them yielding edible fruits, ornamental in foliage. Leaves alternate, large, thick, entire or pinnate: dioecious; staminate fls. on long spikes, the sepals and stamens 2; pistillate fls. in globular heads, with simple 1-ovuled ovary and bifid stigma: fr. a large fleshy mass or syncarp, formed of the aggregated fls.—A genus of 40 species containing many tropical fr. plants, originally from the E. Indies, sometimes cult. with difficulty in northern botanic gardens for their great economic interest, and throughout the world in the tropics. They need a hot, moist atmosphere, much water, and perfect drainage. Prop, slowly by cuttings of young lateral growth. Bread-fruit seeds are boiled and eaten. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Recent phylogenetic research, based on leaf arrangement, leaf anatomical characters and stipules, indicates that there are at least two subgenera in ''Artocarpus'' : *subgenus ''Artocarpus'' : perianth of fruit is partially [[connate]] *subgenus ''Pseudojaca'' : perianth entirely connate. The genus ''Prainea'' is closely allied to the subgenus ''Pseudojaca'', and some researchers treat it as a third subgenus of ''Artocarpus''. The following list still follows the traditional line.
