Evaluation of the agronomic traits and correlation analysis of phenotypes of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) germplasm in Kazakhstan.

Proso millet is a valuable short-term crop of universal use cultivated all over the world. However, due to the lack of genetic improvement, the yield of this crop does not provide stable in-come for farmers. The research is aimed to test proso millet germplasm of different geographical origin under different agro-climatic regions in Kazakhstan.

Study of the Floristic, Morphological, and Genetic (atpF-atpH, Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS), matK, psbK-psbI, rbcL, and trnH-psbA) Differences in Populations in Mangistau (Kazakhstan).

This article studies the morphological parameters of vegetative and generative organs of different age groups of from four populations in Western Karatau (Mangistau region, Kazakhstan). In this study, we examined four populations: Sultan Epe, Karakozaiym, Emdikorgan, and Samal, all located in various gorges of Western Karatau. Several phylogenetic inference methods were applied, using six genetic markers to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships between these populations: atpF-atpH, internal transcribed spacer (ITS), matK, psbK-psbI, rbcL, and trnH-psbA.

Plant height variation and genetic diversity between (Schlecht.) YY Yao and Batsch based on using SSR markers in East Kazakhstan.

Background: Genetic differences between isolated endemic populations of plant species and those with widely known twin species are relevant for conserving the biological diversity of our planet's flora. (Schlecht.) YY Yao is an endangered and endemic species of shrub almond from central Asia.

Carotenoids: Therapeutic Strategy in the Battle against Viral Emerging Diseases, COVID-19: An Overview.

Carotenoids, a group of phytochemicals, are naturally found in the Plant kingdom, particularly in fruits, vegetables, and algae. There are more than 600 types of carotenoids, some of which are thought to prevent disease, mainly through their antioxidant properties. Carotenoids exhibit several biological and pharmaceutical benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunity booster properties, particularly as some carotenoids can be converted into vitamin A in the body.

[Prevention of iodine deficiency in the nutrition of the population of Turkmenistan through general table salt iodination: results of the nationwide representative study].

A nationwide representative study of progress in preventing iodine deficiency in the nutrition of the population of Turkmenistan through general salt iodination was made in 879 children in the all regions of the country in January-February 2004. The findings suggest that the population in the whole country is adequately provided with iodine, which has been achieved due to the fact that qualitative iodinated salt is available in 100% of the country's households. The median urinary iodine concentration (170 ng/l) for the whole population of Turkmenistan is in the range (100-300 fig/I) recommended by the WHO, UNICEF, and ICIDC; the proportion of samples with an iodine concentration of less than 100 and SO /ig/l has proved to be much less than the recommended one.
