Although the reason for this difference is still unknown, studies on species from this family indicate that the variation in essential oil yields could be due to genetic or environmental factors or their interaction, which modifies the number and size Continue reading Characterization of glandular trichomes of Minthostachys verticillata“peperina” from northwest and central Argentina: relation with essential oil content – JBES
