الملخص الإنجليزي

Aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) belongs to the Liliaceae family, original of the north of Africa and introduced in the Antilles and tropical America where it grows naturally and is sowed commercially (Albany et al‚ 2006).

Common names include “Medicine Plant,” “Burn Plant,” “First Aid Plant,” and “Miracle Plant” (Tanabe and Horiuchi‚ 2006).

It is one of herbaceous or woody plants, and characterized by stemless, large, thick and fleshy leaves showing lance shaped, a sharp apex and a spiny margin (Steenkamp and Stewart, 2007).

A number of biological activities have been reported by Weiner and Weiner, 1994 to substances present in, such as antiseptic (saponins and anthraquinones), antitumoral (mucopolysaccharides), anti inflammatory (steroids and salicylic acid), anti-oxidant (Vitamins) and immune regulator (glucomannans) (Bhojwani and Razdan, 1992).

Natural propagation of Aloe vera is primarily by means of auxiliary shoots and it is rather a slow way of multiplication to meet the growing demand.

The presence of male sterility is also a barrier in rapid propagation (Natali et al., 1990).

The technique of tissue and organ culture is used for rapid multiplication of plants, for genetic improvement of crops, for obtaining disease-free clones and for progressive valuable germplasm (Bhojwani and Razdan, 1992).

Several reports have been noticed rapid in vitro propagation of Aloe vera (Meyer and Staden, 1991 ; Aggarwal and Barna, 2004 ; Hosseini and Parsa, 2007).
