Agarwood was a widely used traditional and valuable medicinal material and top spice.However,wild resources of agarwood were facing depletion due to slow formation.Consequently,the development of the incense industry had led to the emergence of artificial agarwood formation as a significant research area.In this paper,a summary of common artificially induced agarwood methods and mainstream mechanism hypotheses was presented,with suggestions on how to efficiently and sta-bly induce agarwood and explore the aroma mechanism in the future,to provide a reference to enhance the yield and quality of agarwood,as well as for subsequent industrial-scale production.
