Abstract:Liquidambar formosana is a multipurpose tree species native to China. There has been increasing interest in L. formosana due to its leaves being rich in shikimic acid, which plays a key role in the synthesis of the antiviral drug oseltamivir phosphate. Here, shikimic acid content (SAC) and other breeding traits, including tree height (HT), diameter at breast height (DBH), height to crown base (HCB), individual tree volume (VOL), leaf color (LC) and stem straightness degree (SSD), for 387 families of 19 provena… Show more
