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.

Studying the influence of TaGW8 and TaGS5-3A genes on the yield of soft spring wheat in arid climate conditions of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Drought is a primary ecological stress limiting wheat yield in water-deficient regions. Conducting targeted genetic selection of wheat cultivars can expedite the adaptation process of wheat to the climatic conditions of the region, allowing for the identification of high-yielding varieties with stable genetic traits. This study investigated the impact of the TaGW8 and TaGS3A genes, known for their contribution to wheat productivity.

The role of environment on women's perception about their STEM studies: observations from a Global South country.

The growing global demand for STEM professionals is not being met by the supply of new graduates, a supply that is characterised by a significant lag in the percentage of women pursuing STEM studies. Interestingly enough, the percentage of female applicants entering STEM majors has been increasing yet only a minority of them pursue, or complete, engineering programs. Several studies for the developed world have identified several environmental factors responsible for this phenomenon.

Mining novel genomic regions and candidate genes of heading and flowering dates in bread wheat by SNP- and haplotype-based GWAS.

Unlabelled: Bread wheat ( L.) is a global staple crop vital for human nutrition. Heading date (HD) and flowering date (FD) are critical traits influencing wheat growth, development, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions.

[Prebreeding selection of rice with colored pericarp based on genotyping Rc and Pb genes].

The research was aimed at developing prebreeding resources of Kazakhstan rice varieties with colored pericarp for breeding. During the study, hybrid analysis of inheritance of the trait “colored pericarp” in breeding material used for the work was performed. Rice genotypes with colored pericarp, as well as white rice varieties possessing important breeding traits and maturing under conditions of the republic, were selected from the collection of the Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, Republic of Kazakhstan.
