Abstract

We studied fluctuations in the production of Hwangchil lacquer and major essential oils byDendropanax morbifera Lev. Considerable seasonal as well as intraspecific (individual-tree) variations were observed. Yields of Hwangchil lacquer as well as ß-elemene, α-selinene, ß-selinene, germacrene D, and δ-cadinene also depended on harvesting time, with levels being generally higher in July and August.
