aRI, linear retention indices on DB-5 MS column, experimentally determined using homologue series of n-alkanes.

bRelative retention indices taken from Adams.

cTs, 50:50 and 66:34 indicating thyme sole culture and intercropping ratio of thyme with soybean; I20, I50 and I80 indicating non-stressed, moderate and severe water deficit levels; M0: non-usage of AMF, M1: usage of AMF.

dIdentification methods: MS, by comparison of the mass spectrum with those of the computer mass libraries Wiley, Adams and NIST 08; RI, by comparison of retention index with those reported in Adams and NIST 08; Std, by comparison of the retention time and mass spectrum of available authentic standard. Bold values show the major constituents of thyme essential oil.
