Phytoconstituents from medicinal plants are considered as important source of raw materials of drugs for pharmaceutical industries. Biotechnology has become an inevitable approach in the area of research and development of medicinal plants for many decades. The present work has been carried out to ascertain the role of chlorocholine chloride (CCC) on in vitro morphogenesis, antioxidant activity and expression level of kaurenoic acid 13-hydroxylase (KA13H) gene in Stevia rebaudiana. To fulfill these purposes chlorocholine chloride was applied in the Murashige and Skoog (Physiol Plant 15(3):473–497, 1962) medium in combination with other plant growth regulators such as 1-naphthalene acetic acid, kinetin and thidiazuron. Chlorocholine chloride was found to contribute significant role on in vitro morphogenesis of S. rebaudiana as evidenced by the formation of embryogenic calli and increase in callusing and microshooting efficiency of explant, i.e., cotyledonary leaf. Moreover, antioxidant enzyme activity as well as ascorbic acid content of the calli and leaves was also stimulated after application of chlorocholine chloride. Q-PCR amplification using gene-specific primers revealed that CCC also promoted the expression level of KA13H gene in S. rebaudiana leaves. The overall study highlighted the promising role of chlorocholine chloride on regeneration efficiency of cotyledonary leaf, significant promotion in antioxidant potential and expression of KA13H gene in S. rebaudiana.
