Stevia rebaudiana is herbaceous perennial plant of Asteraceae family and an excellent substitute of sugar with medicinal importance. The potential uses of Stevia which produces stevioside, a non-caloric sweetener that does not metabolize in the human body, hence control blood sugar level. Conventional propagation methods are not produce adequate planting material. Plant tissue culture techniques are only technique to produce quality planting material.
