Interpopulation variations in morphochemical characteristics of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni
The present study was carried out with an aim to evaluate Stevia rebaudiana
Bertoni segregants and to characterize them
morphochemically to facilitate selection of superior genotypes for
hybridization in breeding programs. Two identified strains named
A and B and their segregant populations (F1 and F2)
were evaluated with their morphological and chemical characteristics.
Various qualitative and quantitative morphological characters including
leaf shape, plant type (loose or compact), plant habit, plant height,
and
shoot collar diameter were considered. Simultaneously stevioside and
rebaudioside-A content was evaluated. A few individuals were
identified with rebaudioside-A content ranging from 5.11% to 8.55% and
the ratio between stevioside and rebaudioside-A was found to
be very low. One plant with stevioside of 16.18% was obtained.
