the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bio-fertilizers on growth and development of plants in pots containing (v) vermicompost and (m) cow manure: (soil amendments) and (s) garden soil separately and in combination. in the first experiment, treatments included s (control), sm (soil + 15%m + 0%v), smv10 (soil + 15%m + 10%v), and smv20 (soil + 15%m + 20%v) by dry weight (w/w). in the...

An efficient plant regeneration protocol has been developed from leaf explants of Stevia rebaudiana, an economically and medicinally important herbaceous plant species belonging to the family Asteraceae. Plant regeneration and multiple shoot proliferation was initiated from leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin (KN) in c...

Abstract The current study was conducted with aim to find an efficient simple protocol for propagation of stevia plant ( Stevia rebaudiana ) In Vitro . Shoot tips, leaves and stem nodes explants were sterilized different concentrations NaOCl (0.0, 2.0, 4.0 6% v/v) then cultured on MS medium supplemented 30 g.l -1 sucrose. Results revealed that, no contamination recorded when using % 6.0 (100% 8...

A closed-type plant factory (plant factory) can control growth environments in confined spaces with artificial lights and hydroponic systems. The environment of a be modulated without having to consider the natural climate, so that high value plants rich useful compounds or low toxic uniformly consistently produced. However, process optimizing condition settings increase decrease target tends c...

The use of non-dairy matrices for probiotic delivery can be beneficial vegetarian, vegan and lactose intolerant consumers. Stevia rebaudiana extract used as sweetener to replace sucrose glucose intolerants. This research evaluated the kefir grains prepare a low-calorie, fruit-based beverage. Fermentation was carried out by inoculating into mixture mango umbu pulps. Two beverages, one containing...

The effects of different nitrogen doses on dry weight yield, stevioside and rebaudioside A contents, yields were evaluated in stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). This study was carried out at the Instituto Federal Catarinense, Rio do Sul (SC), Brazil, under decreasing photoperiods. randomized complete block design with four blocks five treatments (0, 65, 135, 200 270 kg ha-1 N) used. Variables ...

In recent years there has been increasing demand for natural non-nutritive high intensity sweeteners with low-calorie value as an alternative to sucrose. Extracts of the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), have been known for their sweet taste. Steviosides and rebaudioside-A are the two major diterpenoid glucosides components present in the leaf extracts of the stevia, these glycosides are 3...
