| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to determine the impact of environmental factors on the morphological and chemical properties of a medicinal plant belongs to the legume family known as licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) in two regions of southern Algeria (Tougourt and Biskra). We concluded from this study that the morphological (stem length and leaf area, leaf number) of licorice affected by various climatic factors, particularly the amount of precipitationeze. The temperature and precipitation affect the rate of sugar in the roots, where high temperatures lead to increased perspiration process of the latter, which has an impact on chemical reactions and thus the amount of sugars in the plant. Ultimately, we concluded that environmental factors influence the accumulation of active substances glycoside inside the plant, where Touggourt exclusively against Biskra greater quantity of it (4,53% et1, 96%) successively. | ||
