Abstract
Aloe Vera is a valuable medicinal plant. Its leaf and gel in particular are widely used as skin care and in medical applications. Salinity however is an abiotic stress and can negatively affect the plants morphological characteristics as well as quality and quantity of its phyto-chemical compounds of including total phenol total soluble sugars and its components namely sucrose glucose and fructose. In order to investigate the impact of salinity stress on morphological and physiological traits of plant different levels of NaCl namely 0 (control) 50 100 150 200 and 250 mM were applied in a complete randomised design with three replications under greenhouse conditions. The results indicated that salinity stress has significant negative effect on the plants morphological traits such as its weight leaf length leaf weight gel weight root length; and biochemical traits such as total phenol total soluble sucrose glucose and fructose. The results of this study indicate that salinity stress has significant negative effect on Aloe Veras morphological traits which results in yield loss. Moreover biochemical traits such as photosynthetic and defences of plants are also affected. It is thus clear that Aloe Vera is susceptible to salinity stress.
