Acclimatized apparatus enhanced seed germination in stevia rebaudiana bertoni

Stevia rebaudiana bertoni produces sweet glycosides with zero calorie and has strong health and dietary implications. With these properties, it has the potential to substitute sugar. However, poor seed germination in this plant constitute obstacle towards large scale propagation, thereby causing p...
