摘要: A study was conducted to produce higher biomass-yielding stevia Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) with larger leaf size and high glycoside content. To improve yield and sweet content found in the leaves of plant, polyploidy was induced by treating seeds colchicine. Treatment 0.2% colchicine above (up 0.6%) reduced survival rate young seedlings below 50%. Maximum number polyploids (tetraploids) were obtained 0.6% treatment for 24 hr; mixoploidy observed at 6 hr. It however needs further experimentation more precise information. The nuclear DNA (2C-value diploid Stevia variety Madhuguna) estimated flow-cytometry (FCM) be 2.72pg. Polyploids C7-3-4, C7-3- 5, C9-1-1 C9-4-3 could distinguished from diploid control plants as they had double content, suggesting autotetraploidy. Chromosome count root-tip cells (2n=44) confirmed their tetraploid status compared with (2n=22). autotetraploids significantly increased size, thickness chlorophyll content reduced internode length. Tetraploid genotypes are important germplasm improvement of stevia biomass
