Introduction: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a common viral pathogen that causes considerable economic loss globally. In the present study, a commercial realtime PCR test system and custom loop mediated amplification primers were used to detect the virus in asymptomatic sugar beet samples.
Methods: A total of 107 of 124 samples tested positive for the presence of the A type BNYVV coat protein gene.
Sugar beet hybrids are essential in modern agriculture due to their superior yields, disease resistance, and adaptability. This study investigates the role of the gene in conferring resistance to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) in 14 sugar beet hybrids cultivated in Kazakhstan, including local and European varieties. The gene, encoding a CC-NB-LRR protein, is a known resistance factor against BNYVV.

- * Through advanced testing methods, the study identified 82 out of 256 wheat samples and 19 out of 256 barley samples as positive for wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV).
- * The research reveals that most virus isolates came from Europe and provides new molecular data on cereal viruses in Kazakhstan, which could enhance future research in wheat disease management.
Article Synopsis
- * Analysis showed minimal genetic variation between different breeds and populations, indicating a shared genetic background, while Kazakh horses displayed a relatively high level of individual diversity compared to more well-known foreign breeds.
- * Genome-wide association studies identified 60 SNPs linked to important traits for meat productivity, highlighting Kazakh horses as a valuable genetic resource for breeding and selection efforts both domestically and internationally.
Article Synopsis
- Tomato is a major crop in global horticulture, particularly important in Kazakhstan, but there's limited genetic data on local varieties affecting breeding efforts.
- The study used molecular markers to evaluate local tomato varieties for genetic structure and resistance to five pathogens, finding weak genetic diversity and close ties to Russian varieties.
- Despite identifying some resistance markers, local varieties mostly lacked resistance to important viruses, highlighting the need for further genetic research and a broader marker range for effective breeding in Kazakhstan.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV), a significant pathogen affecting raspberry, grapevine, and cherry, with most existing data coming from European sources.* -
- Researchers sequenced genomic RNA2 from cultivated and wild raspberry in Kazakhstan to analyze genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships, revealing a new clade of isolates and clustering wild isolates with European ones.* -
- For the first time, this research characterizes the genetic composition of raspberry viruses in Kazakhstan and highlights differences in protein structures between the isolates.*
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers developed ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) induced doubled haploid mutant lines from the 'Galant' and 'Kris' cultivars to enhance rapeseed diversity and used a Brassica90k SNP array to analyze genetic variations.
- * The study found various mutation combinations, revealing a substantial number of markers (over 5,600 for 'Kris' and nearly 4,900 for 'Galant') that could assist in quickly selecting favorable genotypes, with a range of
The convergence of climate change and post-Soviet socio-economic and institutional transformations has been underexplored so far, as have the consequences of such convergence on crop agriculture in Central Asia. This paper provides a place-based analysis of constraints and opportunities for adaptation to climate change, with a specific focus on water use, in two districts in southeast Kazakhstan. Data were collected by 2 multi-stakeholder participatory workshops, 21 semi-structured in-depth interviews, and secondary statistical data.
