“…Among these, sesquiterpenoids, phenyl chromones and their derivatives have been most commonly isolated and studied (Gao et al 2019, Ahmaed et al 2017). Metabolites profiling of different grades of agarwood has shown a direct correlation of its quality with the chemical constituents (Islam et al 2022, Liu et al 2017), which are hydroxylated and oxygenated products viz. sesquiterpenoids, 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromones (PECs) and few conjugates (Li et al 2021).…”

P450 superfamily (CYPs) has been known as contributors to the metabolites's diversity and their promiscuous nature has led to the flexibility in substrate specificity and functional diversity. Current study was designed to investigate CYPs in the genome of an agarwood producing plant species named Aquilaria agallocha. Agarwood, the resinous fragrant wood with numerous phytochemicals, produced when an Aquilaria plant respond to wound and microbial infection. These chemicals are of great interest to industries ascribing it a high economic value. However, the pathways for the biosynthesis of these metabolites have not been studied in context of Aquilaria CYPs. We identified 136 A. agallocha CYP proteins from the genome, characterized and classified them into 8 clans and 38 families. Functional analysis unveiled their participation in terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids and other valuable metabolites biosynthesis. Conserved motifs were detected and evolutionary analysis revealed duplicated and orthologous pairs. Potential members for the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenoids and phenylpropanoids reported in Aquilaria and agarwood were elucidated and validated through expression profiles in stress induced callus tissues and infected Aquilaria tress. This study provides a strong foundation for biochemical characterization of Aquilaria CYPs which will aid heterologous production of valuable phytochemicals and untangle molecular mechanism of agarwood formation.

Based on phylogenetic position and sequence similarity, the CYPs are divided into 10 clans i.e., single-family clans (51,74,97,710,711, and 727) and multiple-family clans (71, 72, 85, and 86) (Nelson et al 1996). In plants, members of CYP71 clan have been categorized into A-type, and rest into non-A type (Paquette et al 2000, Nelson 1999).…”

“…Agarwood resins are used in various forms as a valuable ingredient for perfume, medicines, and cosmetics [6]. For cultural reasons, it is used in traditional and herbal medicines to treat some illnesses [7], and serves as significant ceremonial object in various religious rituals by Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus [8]. As a rare tree species, it is one of many highly protected species due to its reduction and possible extinction in forest plant diversity and treated with highest importance in terms of conservation and protection in the Appendix II of the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of [2,8].…”

Agarwood is a highly valued non-timber product naturally grown in South and Southeast Asian countries and is a valuable ingredient of incense, perfume, and medicines. It is a highly protected tree species and a lucrative investment for cultivation and production due to its high price. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the different inoculation strategies and examined the available agarwood-producing species in the literature. The published articles were extracted from the Web of Science database of the initial search of 184 records. Articles were screened according to the title, abstract and full text. A total of 37 eligible articles were qualified for review. Data extracted were synthesized and analyzed by vote counting, frequency count, and percentages, as well as figures and tables. Results revealed that the oldest article in the review was from 2005, and the most recent article was from 2022. China was the highest number of publications as of 2022. Among agarwood-producing species, Aquilaria sinenses was the widely utilized specimen for agarwood experiments, while Aquilaria malaccensis was the country-diverse species in the review. Further, fungal inoculation was the most widely used as agarwood inoculation strategy. Finally, this review highlighted the need for further agarwood studies.
