Overexpression of SrDXS1 and SrKAH enhances steviol glycosides content in transgenic Stevia plants

Abstract Background Stevia rebaudiana produces sweet-tasting steviol glycosides (SGs) in its leaves which can be used as natural sweeteners. Metabolic engineering of Stevia would offer an alternative approach to conventional breeding for enhanced production of SGs. However, an effective protocol for...
