Abstract
The present invention provides a high rebaudioside D-content stevia plant comprising rebaudioside D at higher content as compared with the wild type stevia species. The present invention also provides a method of producing such a high rebaudioside D-content stevia plant, and a dried leaf and an extract obtainable from such a plant.
Claims25
A high rebaudioside D (RebD)-content stevia plant comprising 3.3% or more of RebD per unit mass of a dried leaf.
A method of screening for a high RebD-content stevia plant, comprising a step of detecting from the genome of a test stevia plant the presence and/or the absence of a genetic feature of being homozygous for the allele wherein the base at the position corresponding to position 201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 is A.
A screening kit for a high RebD-content stevia plant, comprising a reagent for detecting the presence and/or the absence of a genetic feature of being homozygous for the allele wherein the base at the position corresponding to position 201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 is A.
A method of producing a high RebD-content stevia plant, comprising a step of introducing a variation from C to A to a position corresponding to position 201 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
