Yield & Composition of volatiles extraction by various extraction techniques 
Moretta P (2001) Extraction and variation of the essential oil from Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Ph.D. thesis, University of W.A.
Summary 
โ€ข Significant divergence found between populations for a range of characters 
โ€ข Significant tree-to-tree variation for important oil characters 
โ€ข Variation in heartwood %, which is independent of DBH 
โ€ข Heartwood and bark-blaze colour have no relationship with heartwood oil quantity or quality and 
cannot be used as a selection criteria 
โ€ข Considerable potential for short term improvement in oil quality using highest quality individuals 
from each population 
โ€ข Two highest quality populations (Santo & Malekula) are known to have a high incidence of 
homozygosity. 
โ€ข Require greater species survey to identify other โ€˜high qualityโ€™ populations and individuals. 
โ€ข Continuous variation found for all oil constituents 
โ€ข Very little evidence for vegetation type to have any influence on the oil characters measured 
โ€ข Three possible candidate species for use in the host by genotype interaction experiment 
Micromellum minutum, Pterocarpus indicus & Litsea imthurnei
Santalum austrocaledonicum

  • 37. Summary โ€ข Significant divergence found between populations for a range of characters โ€ข Significant tree-to-tree variation for important oil characters โ€ข Variation in heartwood %, which is independent of DBH โ€ข Heartwood and bark-blaze colour have no relationship with heartwood oil quantity or quality and cannot be used as a selection criteria โ€ข Considerable potential for short term improvement in oil quality using highest quality individuals from each population โ€ข Two highest quality populations (Santo & Malekula) are known to have a high incidence of homozygosity. โ€ข Require greater species survey to identify other โ€˜high qualityโ€™ populations and individuals. โ€ข Continuous variation found for all oil constituents โ€ข Very little evidence for vegetation type to have any influence on the oil characters measured โ€ข Three possible candidate species for use in the host by genotype interaction experiment Micromellum minutum, Pterocarpus indicus & Litsea imthurnei
