Rhizosphere bacterial and fungal community structure varies among field-grown Mentha spicata accession plots with different essential oil profiles
Introduction Aromatic plants produce diverse secondary metabolites, yet how within-species phytochemical variation relates to rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities remains poorly resolved. Mentha spicata displays substantial essential oil (EO) compositional variation, providing a field system to examine rhizosph...
