Screening of wheat genotypes for the presence of common bunt resistance genes.

Common bunt is known to cause grain yield and quality losses in wheat due to bunt ball formation and infestation of the grain. The aim of this study is to identify for sources of resistance to common bunt in wheat genotypes using phytopathological and molecular methods. In general, studied 60 Kazakh and foreign wheat genotypes were found 15 samples with the , and genes.

Mutant Lines of Spring Wheat with Increased Iron, Zinc, and Micronutrients in Grains and Enhanced Bioavailability for Human Health.

Deficiency of metals, primarily Fe and Zn, affects over half of the world's population. Human diets dominated by cereal products cause micronutrient malnutrition, which is common in many developing countries where populations depend heavily on staple grain crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. Biofortification is one of the most effective approaches to alleviate malnutrition.

Mildew of oleaster ( Schlecht.) registered in large industrial cities (Pavlodar, Aksu, Ekibastuz) of the Pavlodar region.

Vegetation plays a very important role in industrial regions in terms of not only air purification, but also oxygen enrichment, air humidity, and city aesthetics. The paper presents the authors' study of oleaster mildew during 2012-2013 in the cities of Pavlodar, Ekibastuz, and Aksu. The species composition of mildew, patterns of its growth and reproduction, seasonal dynamics, and the level of trees infection according to a six-score scale were determined.
