Biochemical changes in agarwood tree (Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk.) during pathogenesis

Abstract

Post-infection changes in sugars, ascorbic acid, phenols and protein of agarwood tree (Aquilaria malaccensis) were investigated after inoculation with fungi such as Chaetomium globosum and Fusarium oxysporum. In healthy trees, the biochemical constituents increased, whereas in infected trees they decreased after inoculation with fungi.
