Agarwood is a resin produced by wounded Aquilaria plants. Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg  is the original plant source of agarwood in China. Formic acid combined with Botryosphaeria rhodina A13 (FAA13) induces the formation of artificial agarwood as an effective integrated induction method. However...
