Abstract

It is imperative to mention here that SS and NSSS plants neither differ in the basic biochemical routes leading to carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism nor in the first product of photosynthesis e.g. PGA (C3)/malate (C4)/aspartate (C4)/oxaloacetate (C4) with other plants. The SS and NSSS principles do differ in their chemical structure, intensity of sweetness etc. and their donor plants differ in morphophysiological, biochemical and genetic attributes. Hence the most important distinguishing ecophysiological, ethnobotanical/phylogenic and health friendly attributes of these plant species and functional and synthetic path of NSSS principles are presented here.
