Abstract
Natural wild populations of C. rupestris and C. salonitana were studied to determine possible relationships between the volatile oil (VO) composition and ploidy level. The chemical composition of the volatile oil was investigated using the GC/MS technique. The predominant components of the VO of diploid and tetraploid C. salonitana were hexadecanoic acid and α-linoleic acids, while in C. rupestris they were germacrene D and β-caryophyllene in one population and heptacosane and germacrene D, in another. The nuclear DNA amounts (2 C DNA), determined by flow cytometry, were 3.54 pg for C. rupestris, 3.39 pg for the diploid and 6.79 pg for the tetraploid population of C. salonitana. Evidence that the degree of ploidy solely influences the chemical composition of the essential oil of C. salonitana was not found. The results presented are the first data to be reported on the DNA content of the studied Centaurea populations from Croatia, as well as on the chemical composition of C. salonitana volatile oil.
