Effect of Chemical Mutagen on Some Biochemical Properties of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni
Authors
Abstract:
Induced mutagenesis causes an increase variation of some products with limited genetic resources. In this study, the antioxidant enzymes activity, biochemical properties and glycoside content of Stevia were assessed by EMS (chemical mutagen) based on two experiments as factorial with completely randomized design with three replications. The results of the first experiment showed that some properties of regenerated calli were influenced by different concentrations of EMS, different times of exposure and interactions of these two factors. Therefore, more EMS concentration and its duration of exposure indicated fewer regeneration rates and indices of the calcified masses. According to the second experiment, our data showed that EMS mutant activity was related to enzymatic activity and some biochemical properties of regenerated plants at a 1% significance level. Among the mutants, M10, M6, and M19 had the highest enzyme activity and M3 and M10 mutants with + 41.4 and +26.12% revealed the higher percentage of incremental changes in proline accumulation than the control sample. In addition, the highest amount of total protein was allocated to M16, M14 and M3 mutants (values of 0.69, 0.67 and 0.58 mg/g tissue texture, respectively) over the control sample (0.27 mg/ gram of tissue) and M8 mutant had the highest percentage of changes in the amount of stevioside (87.3%) and rebaudioside A (58.3%), respectively. Overall, significant changes were observed in the antioxidant activity and biochemical properties and the amount of sugary glycosides of regenerated plants that could be used to create plants with higher quality traits.

Chemical Mutagen Effect on Physiological Properties of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni under Salt Stress
The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of ethyl methane sulfonate (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5%) on some physiological characteristics of regenerated plants from calli of stevia at 30, 60 and 120 min under various levels of salinity stress (0, 50 and 100 mM of NaCl). This experiment was carried out based on completely randomized two-factorial designs with th...

Sweetleaf (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), currently investigated by many researchers, has been known and used for more than a thousand years indigenous tribes of South America, who called it "kaa-hee" ("sweet herb"). Thanks to its chemical composition and processability sweetleaf may be an alternative for synthetic sweeteners. Nutritional and health-promoting aspects of Stevia rebaudiana are prese...

Stevia as a natural sweetener with zero calories, and proven non-toxic effects on human health, recently found widespread use in the food and baking industry. Steviol glycosides that are concentrated in the plant leaves are: even 300 times sweeter than sucrose, heat-stable and well tolerate low pH-values. Th ese are all characteristics that popularize this plant in its application as a natural ...

The genomic DNA polymorphism and phytochemical variation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni was investigated by RAPD-PCR and HPLC analysis. For initial PCR screening, about hundred oligo-nucleotide primers were used to amplify the genomic DNA from three accessions of S. rebaudiana (L1 to L3). The concentration of stevioside content was quantified by using HPLC analysis. A total of 9 primers were fina...

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a small perennial shrub of the Asteraceae (Compositae) family that is native to South America, particularly Brazil and Paraguay, where it is known as "stevia" or "honey leaf" for its powerful sweetness. Several studies have suggested that in addition to their sweetness, steviosides and their related compounds, including rebaudioside A and isosteviol, may offer addit...
