  • Publication number: 20210068360
    Abstract: Plants, and methods of generating plants, having an increased content of rebaudioside D and oilier desirable characteristics are disclosed. Rebaudioside D (rebD) has been observed to have desirable sweetening properties, and accordingly, it has been desirable to produce Stevia plant lines, cultivars, and varieties with defined glycoside profiles where rebD is increased in content, either on a total weight basis of Stevia leaves, relative to other glycosides (e.g., rebA, or stevioside), or both.
