Changes in plant growth and development, micronutrient accumulation, and essential oil yield and composition were studied in Japanese mint (Mentha arvensis L. cv. MS 77) growing under selected water stresses from deficiency to sufficiency. Water stress resulted in significant reductions in CO2 exchange rate, total assimilatory area, fresh and dry matter, chlorophyll, carotenoids, Fe, Mn, Zn, and essential oil yield. Some changes in essential oil composition were observed, but these changes generally were not correlated with water stress.
