stevia rebaudiana bertoni, is an ancient perennial shrub of south america, with great potential as a crop for the production of high-power natural sweetener. due to its chemical composition and content of the phytochemical compounds, it is suitable as a raw material for the extraction and production of functional foods. diterpene glycosides component of low-calorie sweetener is approximately 30...

Sugars used for sweetening do contribute calories, which can lead to obesity, a risk factor for some chronic diseases. Hence, the craving for sweetness led to discover several forms of alternative sweeteners, which would offer consumers the sweet taste without calories. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a natural herb with low calorie sweetener. Stevioside is one of the principal diterpene glycoside...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) usually contain 19-24 nucleotides and have been identified as important eukaryotic gene regulators. Applications of various computational approaches have simplified the task by predicting miRNAs from available sequence data sources. In this study, we identified a conserved miR414 from a computational analysis of EST sequence data available from Stevia rebaudiana. In addition,...

 Stevia rebaudiana Bert (Asteraceae) is herbaceous plant with sweet leaves, which are the source of sweetener products. The present study focuses on effects of different combination of plant growth regulators on callus induction, callus cell growth and regeneration and volatile constituents from callus of stevia in tissue culture condition. The results of present study showed callus formation p...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of edaphic environmental conditions in concentration principal steviol glycosides and Stevia rebaudiana Bert yield, utilizing leaves from five Colombian regions. The structure experiment a randomized complete block design with two treatments 5 × 2 factorial arrangement (5 locations radiation levels). In each experimental unit (UE), healthy plants...
