Apigenin, a pharmacologically important flavonoid of the chamomile plant, was analyzed at two ploidy levels during a three-year period. This flavonoid accumulates in the ligulate florets of the anthodium. Higher percentages of apigenin were found in the ligulate florets of a diploid cultivar, in comparison with tetraploid plants. However, when the total apigenin (mg of compound) in the anthodium was evaluated, tetraploid individuals accumulated significantly more flavonoid. Moreover, in contrast to morphological quantitative characteristics of the anthodium, which varied significantly in different years, apigenin percentage in the ligulate florets was constant and not influenced by environmental conditions. Apigenin content was also found to change during inflorescence ontogeny. It represents the highest percentage of dry mass in young developing florets and anthodia of both cultivars. The total apigenin content of the anthodium, however, increases during flowering, although at later stages apigenin forms only a minor part of ligulate floret and anthodium dry mass.
