Dynamic Metabolite Profiles in Aquilaria sinensis Under Fungal Induction Over 28 Days

A metabolomics study by Tianjiao Ma, last updated in April 2026, investigates the bioinduction of agarwood. The dataset contains 14,784 identified metabolites and 116 volatile compounds, measured at four time points (7, 14, 21, and 28 days) after inoculation with the endophytic fungus NSZJ-CX-22. It was generated using LC-MS/MS and GC–MS techniques on a sterile sawdust medium.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal dynamics of sesquiterpene and chromone synthesis based on metabolite profiles measured at four time points.
• Identifying key odorant compounds in agarwood based on the 116 volatile compounds profiled via GC–MS.
• Analyzing pathway convergence in secondary metabolism based on the three identified core biosynthetic pathways (flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, terpenoid).
• Correlating precursor depletion with product synthesis based on the quantitative relationships (|r| ≈ 0.63–0.74) described in the results.

Strengths

• Contains 14,784 identified metabolites, including 118 agarwood-characteristic compounds.
• Volatile profiling identified 116 compounds, with 42 aromatic compounds and 5 sesquiterpenes as key odorants.
• Data generated from a controlled model system using sterile medium and a specific high-efficiency fungus (NSZJ-CX-22).
• Systematic evaluation at four defined culture time points (7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The primary file format is DOCX, which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
