Aloe vera L. is one of the medicinal plants from Liliaceae belonging to genus Aloe. This perennial plant is effectively adapted to dried and desert like areas with less soil fortification practices. Aloe vera is one of the main ingredients of most of cosmetics and because of having several health promoting secondary metabolites has received closed attention in traditional and modern medicine industries. The extracted gel from the leaves of Aloe vera is containing around 20 amino acids and is a rich source of essential amino acids. The conventional vegetative propagation method of this plant through suckers cannot meet the demands for a rapid preparation of uniform plantlet for industrial preparation of gel from elite genotypes. Tissue culture-mediated propagation of Aloe vera has been introduced as an efficient approach over conventional method. We developed an improved and highly efficient method for induction of direct organogenesis, to reduce somaclonal variation for a true-to-type mass micropropagation system in Aloe vera.
