Aquilaria malaccensis (karas) produces oleoresin in its wood (known as agarwood) when responding to wounding and microbial infection. Wood tissues are known to contain high levels of polysaccharides, polyphenolics and secondary metabolites, which make RNA extraction challenging. In this work, six di...
