We used whole-tree agarwood-induction technology to produce agarwood from Aquilaria sinensis trees within 20 months,and evaluated the quality of this agarwood.The results showed its characteristics were similar to those of high-grade wild agarwood in terms of texture,chemical constituents,essential oil content,and ethanol-soluble extract content,with the lattermost quality far surpassing the requirement of traditional Chinese medicine agarwood,as indicated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010.To the best of our knowledge,this is first study to show that high-quality agarwood can be produced in whole A.sinensis trees via a chemically induced technology.
