Abstract
⺠Steviol is the aglycone of the sweet steviol glycosides in Stevia rebaudiana. ⺠Free steviol level in leaves is at least 1000-fold smaller than that of its glycosides. ⺠Steviol content is strongly influenced by photoperiod and genotype. ⺠A general decrease was seen after flower opening. ⺠Under short-days, a linear correlation exists between steviol and its glycosides.
