Agarwood is a resinous part of the non-timber tree, which is a highly valuable product for medicine and fragrance purposes. To protect the endangered species, mass plantation of trees has become a sustainable way in Asian countries to obtain the highly valuable agarwood. As only physiologically triggered tree can produce agarwood, effective induction methods are long sought in the agarwood industry. In this paper, we attempt to provide an overview for the past efforts toward the understanding of agarwood formation, the evolvement of induction methods and their further development prospects by integrating it with high-throughput omics approaches.
沉香是一种非木材树木的树脂部分，是用于医药和香料用途的高价值产品。为了保护濒危物种，大规模种植树木已成为亚洲国家获取高价值沉香的可持续方式。由于只有生理触发的树木才能产生沉香，因此沉香产业长期以来一直在寻找有效的诱导方法。在本文中，我们试图通过将其与高通量组学方法相结合，对过去在理解沉香形成、诱导方法的演变及其进一步发展前景方面所做的努力进行概述。
