Sesquiterpene and phenylethyl chromone, two types of agarwood marker compounds, have been extensively studied. However, genetic studies of agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) are still scarce. This study describes the isolation and cloning of sesquiterpene synthase genes (AmGS3 and AmGS4), and chalcone...
