1 × MTC and 2 × MTC indicate that the concentrations of the mixture were 1 and 2 times the rhizosphere soil concentrations, respectively (mixture = 6.13 μg/mL beta-myrcene + 67.48 μg/mL D-limonene + 66.30 μg/mL gamma-terpinene + 13.54 μg/mL estragole + 18.30 μg/mL anethole).
Different letters in the same group indicate significant differences as determined by one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05).
The error bars indicate the standard errors of the means (n = 3).
