Influence of Plant Growth Regulators on Glandular Trichome Density and Steviol Glycosides Accumulation in Stevia rebaudiana.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of modern lifestyles, diabetes-related comorbidities attributed the importance of low-caloric natural sweetener plants such as Stevia rebaudiana. This plant is the viable source of steviol glycosides (SGs) and other economically important secondary metabolites. Glandular trichomes (GTs) play the role as a reservoir for all secondary products present in the plant species. Therefore, the present study was carried out to evaluate the influence of different plant growth regulators (PGRs) on GT density and its impact on the SG content. The direct shoot regeneration system was developed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) + benzyl aminopurine (BAP) (1.0 mg/L) + naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0.5 mg/L), and MS + BAP (1.5 mg/L) + NAA (0.5 mg/L) from nodal and leaf explants, respectiv
