Recombinant microorganisms, plants, and plant cells are disclosed that have been engineered to express novel recombinant genes encoding steviol biosynthetic enzymes and UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Such microorganisms, plants, or plant cells can produce steviol or steviol glycosides, e.g., rubusoside or Rebaudioside A, which can be used as natural sweeteners in food products and dietary supplements. 1. A recombinant host comprising:a) a recombinant gene encoding a UGT91D2 polypeptide:b) a recombinant gene encoding a UGT85C polypeptide having at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 such as a UGT85C polypeptide comprising one or more amino acid substitutions at residues 9, 10, 13, 15, 21, 27, 60, 65, 71, 87, 91, 220, 243, 270, 289, 298, 334, 336, 350, 368, 389, 394, 397, 418, 420, 440, 441, 444, and 471 of SEQ ID NO:3; and/orc) a recombinant gene encoding a UGT76G1 polypeptide having at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7, and having one or more amino acid substitutions at residues 29, 74, 87, 91, 116, 123, 125, 126, 130, 145, 192, 193, 194, 196, 198, 199, 200, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 266, 273, 274, 284, 285, 291, 330, 331, and 346.2. The recombinant host of claim 1 , wherein said UGT91D2 polypeptide is UGT91D2e or UGT91D2m.3. The recombinant host of claim 1 , wherein said UGT91D2 polypeptide has at least 90% claim 1 , 95% claim 1 , or 99% identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:5.412.-. (canceled)13. The host of claim 1 , wherein said UGT91D2 polypeptide comprises i) at least one amino acid substitution at residues 1-19 claim 1 , 27-38 claim 1 , 44-87 claim 1 , 96-120 claim 1 , 125-141 claim 1 , 159-184 claim 1 , 199-202 claim 1 , 215-380 claim 1 , or 387-473 of SEQ ID NO:5; ii) an amino acid substitution at one or more residues selected from the group consisting of residues 30 claim 1 , 93 claim 1 , 99 claim 1 , 122 claim 1 , 140 claim 1 , 142 claim 1 , 144 claim 1 , ...
