    <abstract language="eng"><p style="text-align: left;">Aloe has traditionally been used as a folk medicine,although it is currently
used as a component of various globally available commercial products. In this study, we
investigated a method to improve the in-vitro regeneration and micropropagation of
Aloe saponariausing 2-year-old meristem explants. After sterilization,explants were
cultured in different basal media (MS,B5,SH) containing 2mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine
(BAP). We found thatthe optimal basal medium was MS with 2mg/L BAP, which produced
the greatest number of shoots per explant.We also investigated the effect of MS media at
different concentrationson shoot regeneration and length, and found the best conditions
to be 1MS with 2mg/L BAP. Further, we examined the effects of using different concentrations
of the gelling agents Phytagar and Gelrite and found that 3mg/L Gelritewith 2mg/l BAP
regeneratedthe highest number of shoots. Micropropagation of Aloe saponaria was
improved with the addition of various concentrations of activated charcoal (AC), where
more shoots of greater length were obtained with 1g/L AC in MS containing 2mg/L BAP.
These results demonstrate that the micropropagation of aloe can be improved, and that
using meristem explants is an effective method for plant regeneration.</p></abstract>
