Efficient plantlet regeneration with and without intermediate callus phase was achieved for a selected genotype of Aloe vera L. which is sweet in test and used as a vegetable and source of food. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) marker assays were employed to evaluate genetic stability of plantlets and validate the most reliable method for true-to-type propagation of sweet aloe, among two regeneration systems developed so far. Despite phenotypic similarities in plantlets produced through both regeneration systems, the differences in genomic constituents of plantlets produced through intermediate callus phase using soft base of inflorescence have been effectively distinguished by RAPD and ISSR markers. No polymorphism was observed in regenerants produced following direct regeneration of axillary buds, whereas 80% and 73.3% of polymorphism were observed in RAPD and ISSR, respectively, in the regenerants produced indirectly from base of the inflorescence axis via an intermediate callus phase. Overall, 86.6% of variations were observed in the plantlets produced via an intermediate callus phase. The occurrence of genetic polymorphism is associated with choice of explants and method used for plantlet regeneration. This confirms that clonal propagation of sweet aloe using axillary shoot buds can be used for commercial exploitation of the selected genotype where a high degree of fidelity is an essential prerequisite. On the other hand, a high degree of variations were observed in plantlets obtained through indirect regeneration and thus cannot be used for the mass multiplication of the genotype; however, it can be used for crop improvement through induction of somaclonal variations and genetic manipulations.
