Artocarpus is a genus of about 60 trees of Southeast Asian origin and the Pacific, belonging to the mulberry family Moraceae.
Several species in the genus bear edible fruit and are commonly cultivated: Artocarpus communis (Breadfruit), Artocarpus champeden (Cempedak), Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jackfruit) and Artocarpus odoratissima (Marang).

In the most recent revision of the genus Jarrett (1959) divided Artocarpus into two subgenera based on leaf arrangement and stipule attachment and further subdivisions were based on fruit and laminar characters.

The genus Artocarpus (Moraceae) comprises approximately 60 tree species native to the tropical lowland forests of Southeast Asia.
The genus is divided into two subgenera based on leaf arrangement, stipule and leaf anatomical characters, and whether the perianths of the syncarpous fruits are partially (subgenus Artocarpus) or entirely (subgenus Pseudojaca) connate.
The phylogeny was then used to test the monophyly of Artocarpus and the sections within the genus.

 BREADFRUIT AND THE BOUNTY
The breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is an easily recognized tree (8-18 m tall) with large, dark green leathery leaves and milky latex.
It is also said that to avoid staining hands with this latex, the person should coat the skin with cooking oil, and avoid getting milky sap on clothes, from which it will permanently stain.
A close cousin of the breadfruit is the jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus, which is very sweet and strongly acidic.

These findings combined with evidence of thrips pollination in neotropical Castilleae suggest that thrips pollination is common if not ubiquitous in the sister group to figs and entomophily coupled with breeding in inflorescences preceded the origin of the fig pollination mutualism.
Artocarpus is the third largest genus in the Moraceae family and comprises approximately 60 species native to Southeast Asia and Malesia.
Using nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequence data and morphological characters, an Artocarpus phylogeny has been reconstructed to study the evolution of inflorescence characters, address taxonomic issues, and identify wild relatives of the cultivated species in the genus (Zerega, Noor, and Motley, in preparation).

Despite this apparent limitation, it was found in an earlier study at this Centre (Dinh van Binh and Preston 1995) that sugarcane tops supplemented with a molasses-urea block, rice bran and foliage from Acacia mangium could replace the conventional diet of Guinea grass and concentrates with improvements in milk yield and growth of the kids.
Other sources of leaves which are available in the winter season are the Jack fruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus), banana plants (Musa spp) and Trichantera gigantea, a multi-purpose tree recently introduced from the coffee-growing areas of Colombia.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the use of leaves from the above trees as supplements to a basal diet of rice straw and sugarcane tops, feed resources which are widely available in Vietnam especially in the winter season.
