The dark resin is formed as an antibody for healing after injury or fungus infection. The agarwood is widely used in perfume and cosmetic industry, and religious activities. • Agarwood trees are registered as an endangered species by CITES due to its precious value, causing illegal wood smuggling. • Thailand has been recognized worldwide as a source of premium quality agarwood; however, most of agarwood supply is derived from wild cutting or illegal logging. • In respect of tree conservation, the concept of Aquilaria plantations was initially developed in Thailand, with inoculation techniques, capable to provide premium quality agarwood comparable to the wild source.
