In the present study the pigments, total proteins content and genome size were investigated in<br />

six populations of endemic species Symphyandra hofmannii Pant. from Bosnia and<br />

Herzegovina. The intrapopulation analysis of individuals developed under different light<br />

conditions was performed in two populations. It revealed increasing of chlorophyll a, total<br />

chlorophyll, carotenoids content, a/b ratio and decreasing of chlorophyll b content in<br />

heliophyte individuals. Statistically important differences between heliophyte and sciophyte<br />

individuals, from the same population, in chlorophyll a and b content including a/b ratio were<br />

apparent. The other four studied populations, where intrapopulation light conditions were<br />

stabile, were clearly recognized as helio-, semi- or sciophilous. This interpopulation analysis<br />

couldn’t confirm intrapopulation findings, with exception of chlorophyll a/b ratio.<br />

Interpopulation pigments’ variation couldn’t be correlated with light as only differential<br />

ecological parameter. This variation was related to total proteins or DNA amount and<br />

depended on combined environmental conditions, such as geological substrate, altitude or<br />

anthropogenic factors.<br />

Keywords: Campanulaceae, Symphyandra hofmannii, DNA amount, total proteins content,<br />
