Feb 1, 2007 · Aloe vera (Sábila) is used in folklore medicine and commercial cosmetology products in many countries. Little is known about the plant's physiological, growth, and yield responses under different irrigation regimes.

Although epidermal features such as stomata position, size and surface papillation in Aloe are species specific and varied from one species to another, these variations have been attributed to direct genetic control as well as environmental variables (Cutler, 1982).

Aug 19, 2021 · Aloe vera and Aloe eru are succulent CAM plants and exhibited a noticeably economic use of water by virtue of the Crassulacean acid metabolism rhythm, opening stomata by night and closing them by day, thus minimizing water loss.

The length of stomata in Aloe abyssinica was found maximum at apical and middle region of dorsal surface (39.36 ± 0.816μ) and minimum at apical and basal region of ventral surface (37.44 ± 0.614μ) while in Haworthia limifola, maximum length of stomata was found at apical region of dorsal surface (48.0 ± 0.848μ) and minimum at basal region ...

Both leaf sur- faces had a thick cuticle layer that increased the water loss resistance of the leaves and stomata (Figure 1 c,d). Table 1 shows the cuticle thickness with slightly greater mean...

Dec 20, 2018 · Leaf surface morphology was analysed in 32 species representing the maculate species complex (the poorly resolved section Pictae) in the genus Aloe (Xanthorrhoeaceae). Few comparative morphological data are available for the complex.

Feb 1, 2007 · In an effort to characterize plant defense responses to herbivory in the genus Aloe, a salivary extract was isolated from aloe mites (Aceria aloinis Keifer) and its bioactivity was tested using...

The effects of water availability were evaluated on the photosynthetic tissue anatomy in Aloe vera (L) Burm f. and its relationship with morphological, physiological parameters, and water use ...

Tetracytic type of stomata were observed in both Aloe abyssinica and Haworthia limifolia. Maximum stomatal index and stomatal size were reported in Haworthia limifolia.

Adaptations for Aridity: Aloe vera's morphology includes CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis, allowing it to conserve water by opening stomata at night.
