- Abstract
Aerides odorata is a species that belongs to the Orchidaceae family and lives as epiphytic orchids. This orchid is distributed across Southeast Asia, India, and China. This orchid occupies one type of habitat. Morphological characters of flowers in this species vary, depending on the habitat occupied. The cytological analysis includes mitotic phase, chromosome number, chromosome morphology, chromosome shape, and karyotyping. Those can be used as cytological data to predict speciation mechanism, phylogenetic analysis, and evolution among species. This research aims to acquire cytological information about flower morphology, stage of mitosis, and karyotype of A. odorata from Sleman, Yogyakarta. In addition, the cytological analysis of this orchid is to compare the number of chromosomes possessed with research that has been done previously. The method in this study consisted of observing the morphological flower characters, chromosome preparation, visualization of mitotic phases, chromosome shape, and karyotyping. The steps in squash consist of fixation with 45% glacial acetic acid, maceration with 1N HCl, staining with Feulgen solution, and squashing. The data were analyzed using Corel Draw 2018 (64 bit), Image Raster 3.0, and Microsoft Office Excel 2019. The orchid flowers found in Sleman, Yogyakarta have various morphology in flower, mainly in color. The phases of mitosis include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This orchid has 38 chromosomes that consisting of 14 metacentric chromosomes and 24 telocentric chromosomes with the karyotype formula obtained is 2n=2x=38=14m+24t.
