Genetic Studies of Stevioside Content and Other Agronomic Characters and Their Responses to Cloning in Stevia Rebaudiana Bert.
PhD thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bert. produce s the sweetener
stevioside, which is 300 times sweeter than cane sugar.
However, the Mean stevioside content of commercial
cultivars was gene rally low and among the better
cultivars the average stevioside content was in the
region of seven percent. Studies were set up to investigate the genetic system temofstevio side content and
other traits, the effects of cloning and the relationship
of stevioside content to the other traits. Three
segregating population, where up on 18 lines
were selected for studying the effects of cloning.
