Abstract

A method for rapid and highly effective plant micropropagation from vegetative meristems was established for Aloe barbadensis Mill. Plant micropropagation was achieved culturing apices on medium containing 1.1 mgrM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2.3 mgrM kinetin for 15–30 days. High morphogenetic ability was maintained by transferring explants (after 60 days) on media containing 0.11 mgrM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2.2 mgrM 6-benzylaminopurine.

Key words   Aloe barbadensis  - in vitro plant micropropagation - morphogenetic ability
