Abstract

OBJECTIVE To screen the fungi which can induce Aquilaria sinensis to produce active substance. METHODS Fungus was inoculated in the stem of A. sinensis under natural conditions. The penetration and planting of fungus in stem of A. sinensis as well as the interaction of the two organisms were studied by microscope and scanning electron microscopy， and the main ingredients of the volatile oil in induced agilawood were analysed by GC-MS. RESULTS Three active strains inducing the formation of agilawood were obtained， which was reported for the first time in the world. The main ingredients of the volatile oil were similar between the induced agilawood and the natural materials. CONCLUSION It is very important for us to use the fungus in the induction of agilawood and in the sustainable utilization of this special medicinal material.

Key words
