The article presents a review on the improvement of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), a herbaceous perennial plant whose leaves produce diterpene glycosides, non-nutritive, non-toxic and high-potency sweeteners that can substitute for sucrose and synthetic sweeteners. Aside from its sweetening property, the plant also has medicinal uses and value. Its quality traits can reportedly be improved with the use of conventional plant breeding approaches including selection and intercrossing among genotypes. |
