A stevia cultivar, designated '16228013', is disclosed. Further embodiments relate to the plant parts of stevia cultivar ‘16228013’, to the plants of stevia ‘16228013’ and to methods for producing a stevia plant produced by crossing the cultivar ‘16228013’ with itself or another stevia variety, including methods using marker assisted breeding. Further embodiments relate to hybrid stevia seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar ‘16228013’ with another stevia cultivar. Six highly polymorphic SNPs loci and the corresponding genomic sequences used to identify plant variety ‘16228013’ derived plant materials are also disclosed.

Stevia cultivar '16228013'

varieties with high a content of RebD, a high content of RebM, and a high content of RebD and RebM containing various SNP markers and UGT isoforms, are disclosed. Methods of screening for the SNPs are also disclosed as well as for using the SNPs in marker assisted breeding. Further provided are methods for introgressing the disclosed SNPs associated with high RebD and high RebM intoplants by selecting plants comprising for one or more SNPs and breeding with such plants to confer such desirable agronomic phenotypes to plant progeny.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for stevia

Novel cultivars ofplant, with a novel genetic trait of self-compatibility, and the advantageous use of this genetic trait incrossing breeding for increasing steviol glycosides production, including food and beverage products and other consumables, are disclosed.

Self-compatiblevarieties, breeding methods therefrom and methods of preparing novel compositions using said varieties
