          Abstract

          Stevia rebaudiana, originaria del Sudeste de Paraguay y Noroeste de Misiones, presenta en sus hojas ‘steviósidos’ y ‘rebaudiósidos’ con alto poder edulcorante y propiedades farmacológicas. En Venezuela es de reciente cultivo y sus accesiones son poco conocidas. Se caracterizó un cultivar, mantenido en unidades agrícolas familiares en Laguneta de la Montaña, a partir de morfoanatomía foliar y morfología vegetativa-reproductiva. Se describen según la metodología taxonómica convencional. El estudio anatómico se realizó en secciones transversales de hojas y en aclarados paradérmicos con hipoclorito de sodio. Los individuos presentan tallos erectos, cilíndricos, pubescentes. Hojas opuestas decusadas, trinervadas, peciolo alado. Inflorescencias terminales y axilares; corimbos de capítulos con flores blancas diminutas; involucro con cinco filarios desiguales. Fruto cipselas. Hojas bifaciales, anfiestomáticas, índice estomático X= 23,95, índice de empalizada X=2,5. El cultivar de Stevia rebaudiana estudiado presenta características morfológicas y anatómicas similares a los cultivares cercanos genéticamente a la variedad criolla de Paraguay.

          Translated abstract

          Stevia rebaudiana, originating in Southeastern Paraguay and Northwest of Misiones, presents in its leaves ‘steviosides’ and ‘rebaudiosides’ with high sweetening power and pharmacological properties. In Venezuela it is of recent culture and its accessions are unknown. It was characterized a cultivar, maintained in family farms in Laguneta de la Montaña, from foliar morphoanatomy and vegetative-reproductive morphology. They are described according to the conventional taxonomic methodology. The anatomical study was performed in leaf cross sections and in paradermics clarified with sodium hypochlorite. Individuals have erect, cylindrical, pubescent stems. Leaves are opposite decocted, trinervate, winged petiole. Inflorescences, terminal and axillary; inflorescences with tiny white flowers; Involved with five unequal bracts. Fruit is achene. Amphistomatic leaves, stomatal index X = 23.95, palisade parenchyma index X = 2.5. The studied Stevia rebaudiana cultivar presents morphological and anatomical characteristics similar to the cultivars genetically close to the wild variety of Paraguay.

              Chromosomal and morphological studies of diploid and polyploid cytotypes of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni (Eupatorieae, Asteraceae)

              In this study, we examined the chromosome number and some morphological features of strains of Stevia rebaudiana. The chromosomes were analyzed during mitosis and diakinesis, and the tetrad normality and pollen viability were also assessed. In addition, stomata and pollen were measured and some plant features were studied morphometrically. All of the strains had 2n = 22, except for two, which had 2n = 33 and 2n = 44. Pairing at diakinesis was n = 11II for all of the diploid strains, whereas the triploid and tetraploid strains had n = 11III and n = 11IV, respectively. Triploid and tetraploid plants had a lower tetrad normality rate than the diploids. All of the strains had inviable pollen. Thus, the higher the ploidy number, the greater the size of the pollen and the stomata, and the lower their number per unit area. The triploid strain produced the shortest plants and the lowest number of inflorescences, whereas the tetraploid strain had the largest leaves. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the strains, with a positive correlation between the level of ploidy and all of the morphological features examined.
