Claims17
A method of screening a test stevia plant for a high steviol glycoside content, comprising detecting a variation from C to A at a position corresponding to position 49 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 in the genome of the test stevia plant.
A stevia plant selected for having a variation from C to A at a position corresponding to position 49 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 within its genome and a high steviol glycoside content as compared to a stevia plant that does not have the variation from C to A at a position corresponding to position 49 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 within its genome.
A method of producing a high steviol glycoside content stevia plant, comprising introducing a variation from C to A to a position corresponding to position 49 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 in the genome of a stevia plant.
