- Abstract
Phalaenopsis hybrid is one of the orchids that is in great demand in the horticultural market as cut and potted flowers. One of the attempt to obtain new variation flower characters in Phalaenopsis hybrids is polyploidization using colchicine. The purpose of this study was to determine the cytological character of orchids (number, size, shape of chromosomes). The research was conducted at the Screenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture and Integrated Laboratory Unit of Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta in August 2021-March 2022. Polyploidy induction was carried by dripping 1500 ppm concentration of colchicine on flower bud of Phalaenopsis hybrid. The method of this research using squash preparation for chromosome analysis. The results of this research showed that number of chromosomes in control Phalaenopsis Golden Tree 2n = 3x − 7 = 50, Phalaenopsis Fuller Sunset and Phalaenopsis OX X-ray 2n = 4x = 76. Phalaenopsis Golden Tree which were treated with 1500 ppm colchicine each underwent polyploidization with number of chromosomes 2n = 6x − 14 = 100, Phalaenopsis Fuller Sunset and Phalaenopsis OX X-ray 2n = 8x = 152. Phalaenopsis Golden Tree, Phalaenopsis Fuller Sunset and Phalaenopsis OX X-ray has a relatively small chromosome size, and has the same chromosome shape, namely metacentric.
