The origin of <i>Stevia </i> is South America, where it can be seen as a wild plant. Further it could be found in semi-arid habitat ranging from grassland to scrub forest to mountain terrain. Conventional cultivation or propagation methods of <i>Stevia </i>are as well known for time consuming, unpredictable, unreliable and less productive. Therefore, there is a crucial need to develop methods for rapid multiplication of this valuable plant. Plantlet produced through stem cutting has unstability,  however the micropropagation of <i>Stevia </i>which may overcome some limitations associated with conventional method can be used for a rapid multiplication. Accordingly, the study results showed that different explants such as leaf, stem and root transferred to different tissue culture media for <i>in vitro </i> multiplication of two <i>Stevia rebaudiana </i> (Bertoni) genotypes could be reproduced by using different explants. </span> <span lang="tr" xml:lang="tr"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p class="MsoFootnoteText" style="text-align:justify;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Key
