J. Šafárik University, Faculty of Science, Institute of Biology and Ecology, Department of Botany, Mánesova 23, 04154 Košice, Slovakia Corresponding author: Filippo Maggi: E-mail: filippo.maggi@unicam.it Solid-phase microextraction technique (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography (GC-FID and GC-MS) was used to investigate the inter- and intra-population chemical polymorphism in volatile constituents of three populations of Thymus pannonicus growing in Slovakia. To have an idea on what really the plant emits under different environmental and physiological conditions, a total of 86 individuals were separately analysed using low extraction temperatures (30°C). Data were analysed using a chemometric approach such as the principal component analysis (PCA) which revealed a significant intra-population variability with the existence of up to four chemotypes: the most abundant is the p-cymene/γ-terpinene chemotype, followed by the geraniol and linalool chemotypes, and, only in one population, by the γ-muurolene/(E)caryophyllene chemotype. This differentiation of individual plants inside the populations allows better adaptation to ecological conditions of localities and is probably connected with intrinsic genetic diversity of the species. Keywords: Thymus pannonicus, SPME, GC, PCA, chemotypes Table S1. Collection localities of Thymus pannonicus in Slovakia and their climatic and soil chemistry characteristics. All vouchers to samples are deposited in KO (Herbarium of Botanical Garden, P. J. Šafárik University, Košice, Slovakia). Climatic regions are defined according to Quitt (1971, see below) and soil chemistry data are adapted from Grejtovský et al. (2000) as follows: locality TPD is locality 33 in Grejtovský et al (2000); locality TPP is 32 and TPK is 6. Abbreviations: pH KCl – pH measured in 1 M KCl, pHH2O – pH measured in H2O, Cox[%] – content of oxidisable carbon, Nt[%] – content of total nitrogen, CaCO3[%] – carbonate content and contents of available nutrients [mg.kg-1]: P - phosphorus, K – potassium, Ca - calcium, Mg - magnesium, Na - sodium. * - climatic regions: T1 - warm region, summer long, warm and dry, winter short, mild up to moderately cold, dry up to very dry; mean January temperature: -3 to -5°C, mean July temperature: 17-19°C, sum of precipitation in summer: 350-400 mm; sum of precipitation in winter: 200-300 mm; number of sunny days: 50-60; T3 - warm region, summer very long, very warm and dry, winter short, mild, dry up to very dry; mean January temperature: -3 to -4°C, mean July temperature: 19-20°C, sum of precipitation in summer: 350-400 mm; sum of precipitation in winter: 200-300 mm; number of sunny days: 60-70.
