- Intervention effect At 30% SWC basil water potential was reduced to 45% of control.
- Intervention effect At 30% SWC basil malondialdehyde concentration rose 52% against control.
- Intervention effect At 50% SWC basil had less severe losses of water content and potential and less oxidative stress.
- Intervention effect At 50% SWC dry shoot mass was not significantly affected.
- Intervention effect At 30% SWC dry shoot mass fell 34% against control.
- Intervention effect Drought slightly increased essential oil concentration per dry mass at 90% confidence.
- Observation Essential oil production per plant was lowest in the driest soil.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced oil linalool proportion from 59.68 to 44.39%.
- Intervention effect Stressed basil contained beta myrcene and 2 octanone absent in controls.
