Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni from Asteraceae family is commercially valuable for its steviol glycosides (SGs) contents, which is 300 times sweeter than commercial sugar. The bottleneck in Malaysia is the lack of suitable stevia varieties that are able to thrive well under her climatic conditions and still produce high SGs. Mutation induction including gamma irradiation is effective in generating genetic variations and developing new plant varieties with desired traits. This study was aimed to determine the effects of acute gamma irradiation on phenotypic changes and enhancement of SGs contents of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni variety AKH L1 (herein after will be designated as AKH L1). In vitro shoot tip explants of AKH L1 were subjected to a gamma doses regime of 10Gy to 50Gy, following which phenotypic changes of the irradiated explants and subsequent regenerated plantlets were observed. All irradiated explants exhibited different survival rates, with the lowest at 9.33±8.33% when subjected to 50Gy, while all the control (non-irradiated explants) survived. The LD50 was found to be at 23Gy. Subsequent irradiation of 900 shoot tip explants at 23Gy, produced 468 surviving shoot tips, which were all capable to develop and successfully sub-cultured until the fourth generation, M4. These M4 in vitro mutant plantlets exhibited significant increase in the numbers of leaf (16.07±5.19) and average leaf size (1.12±0.26cm x 0.54±0.15cm). HPLC analysis performed in parallel further revealed the mutant plants contained higher concentrations of stevioside (387.04ppm), rebaudioside A (670.18ppm) and rebaudioside D (106.26ppm) compared to the non-irradiated plantlets, which exhibited 96.87, 194.42 and 28.25ppm, respectively.

Summary Stevia is a plant attracting attention due to its capability to synthesize a group of chemical compounds with sweet taste, i.e. steviol glycosides. Steviol glycosides are successfully applied as a natural sweetener, and some of them have also therapeutic properties. This paper presents available information on the use of stevia plant tissue cultures with the focus on their potential application in food industry. Detailed analysis was done concerning the research employing in vitro culture techniques and the use of them in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites of high importance for the food industry. Both established achievements and most recent publications on stevia were used for assessment of practical applications of the aforementioned techniques and prospects for their development.

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial plant belonging to Asteraceae family and its leaves contain steviol glycosides (SGs) that are 150 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose. The sweeteners obtained from S. rebaudiana can be safely used by diabetics as insulin secretion is not required during digestion of this sweetener. As it has zero calories, it is also used in diet products. Adaptation studies for Stevia conducted in Antalya, Turkey have shown that the stevia plant could easily be cultivated as a perennial. However, the lack of a sustainable vegetative propagation method creates a significant problem for stevia production. In the generatively populations, homogeneity and therefore quality are decreased because of cross-pollination. Stevia, as a self-incompatible and cross-pollinated species, has been shown to have very high genetic diversity. Therefore, development of a sustainable in vitro propagation method to prevent genetic heterogeneity of selected varieties is crucial for stevia cultivation. The aim of this study was to evaluate 2 different gelling agents (plant agar and Gelrite) and 20 different growth regulators combinations. The results demonstrated an approximately 200-fold multiplication rate obtained within 13 weeks using MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·dm–3 BAP and 0.25 mg·dm–3 kinetin and solidified with Gelrite. Average stevioside and rebaudioside A contents in in vitro propagated plant samples were found to be 8.1% and 8.6%, respectively.

Explants play an important role in thepropagation system of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this experiment with factorial pattern consisting of two factors, namely three types of explants (shoot tip, first node, and second node) and eleven accessions of stevia namely a1 (Bogor), a2 (Garut), a3 (Canada), a4 (Tawangmangu), a5 (STG1), a6 (SBG 4), a7 (SBG 10), a8 (SGB 2), a9 (BR5), a10 (SGR 7.5), a11 (TR 3.5). The results showed that shoot tip explant was the best explant than first node and second node for the number of shoots (18.11 shoots), number of leaves (93.49 leaves) and wet weight (3.56 grams). The best accession of shoot height was a10(SGR 7.5) (19.95 cm), the highest number of shoots wasa7(SBG 10) (21.87 shoots), the highest number of leaves wasa7(SBG 10) (138.00 leaves), the heaviest wet weight wasa7(SBG 10) (3.56 grams), the highest leaf chlorophyll content was a10 (SGR 7.5) (0.63 µg mL-1). Accessions with the fastest root initiation time at the rooting stage was a11 (TR 3.5) (4.00 DAC), the highest number of roots wasa10 (TR 3.5) (27.11 roots), the best root length wasa2(Garut) (4.51 cm). Information on the best explant types and stevia accessions in the in-vitro multiplication stage can be used as the basis for stevia breeding programs in Indonesia.AbstractEksplan berperan penting dalam sistem perbanyakan Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni).

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a little bush, which is cultivated on a large scale in many countries for medicinal purposes and used as a natural sweetener in food products. The present work aims to conduct a protocol for stevia propagation in vitro to produce and introduce Stevia rebaudiana plants as a new sweetener crop to Egyptian agriculture. To efficiently maximize its propagation, it is important to study the influence of stress factors on the growth and development of Stevia rebaudiana grown in vitro. Two stevia varieties were investigated (Sugar High A3 and Spanti) against salt stress. Leaves were used as the source of explants for callus initiation, regeneration, multiplication and rooting. Some stress-related traits, i.e., photosynthetic pigments, proline contents, and enzyme activity for peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were studied. Murashig and Skoog (MS) medium was supplemented with four NaCl concentrations: 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mgL−1, while a salt-free medium was used as the control. The data revealed that salinity negatively affected all studied characters: the number of surviving calli, regeneration%, shoot length, the number of multiple shoots, number of leaf plantlets−1, number of root plantlets−1, and root length. The data also revealed that Sugar High A3 is more tolerant than Spanti. The total chlorophyll content decreased gradually with increasing NaCl concentration. However, the opposite was true for proline content. Isozyme’s fractionation exhibited high levels of variability among the two varieties. Various biochemical parameters associated with salt tolerance were detected in POD. Namely, POD4, POD6, POD 9 at an Rf of 0.34, 0.57, and 0.91 in the Sugar High A3 variety under high salt concentration conditions, as well as POD 10 at an Rf of 0.98 in both varieties under high salt concentrations. In addition, the overexpression of POD 5 and POD 10 at Rf 0.52 and 0.83 was found in both varieties at high NaCl concentrations. Biochemical parameters associated with salt tolerance were detected in PPO (PPO1, PPO2 and PPO4 at an Rf of 0.38, 0.42 and 0.62 in the Sugar High A3 variety under high salt concentrations) and MDH (MDH 3 at an Rf of 0.40 in both varieties at high salt concentrations). Therefore, these could be considered as important biochemical markers associated with salt tolerance and could be applied in stevia breeding programs (marker-assisted selection). This investigation recommends stevia variety Sugar High A3 to be cultivated under salt conditions.
