Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni that is a member of the Compositae family is one of the most valuable  tropical medicinal plants. The origin of Stevia 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 Stevia 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 Stevia 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 in vitro multiplication of two Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) genotypes could be reproduced by using different explants.
