Research on using Aquilaria sinensis callus to evaluate the agarwood-inducing potential of fungi.

ABSTRACT: Agarwood is a precious resinous heartwood highly valued for its cultural, religious, and medicinal significance. With the increasing market demand, natural agarwood resources are rapidly depleting, making the development of effective artificial induction methods for agarwood highly significant. This study aims to explore the feasibility of using callus tissue to assess the ability of fungi to induce agarwood formation. We selected two fungi isolated from Aquilaria sinensis, W-1 (Podospora setosa) and W-15 (Alternaria alstroemeriae), and used the known agarwood-inducing fungi YMY (Pestalotiopsis sp.) as a positive control, by treating A. sinensis callus with their fermented filtrates. The experimental results showed that W-1 and W-15 treatments significantly enhanced the activity of Superox
