Article Synopsis
- The Kazakhstan-Siberia Network for Spring Wheat Improvement (KASIB) was founded in 2000 to enhance spring wheat through collaborative breeding and biannual yield trials involving 142 genotypes across various sites.
- The study conducted from 2020 to 2022 identified significant DNA markers affecting key agronomic traits, with certain alleles linked to accelerated heading time and increased grain yield.
- A total of eight promising DNA markers were highlighted, showing yield improvements of 3-4%, and recommendations were made for their simultaneous validation and implementation within KASIB's network.
Leaf mottle is a serious disease in the common sunflower ( L.), which affects plant growth and development and seed quality and yield. Over the past few years, the North Kazakhstan region, a sunflower-producing area in Kazakhstan, has been seriously affected by leaf mottle.

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of genomic regions governing grain micro- and macroelements concentrations in a panel of 135 diverse wheat accessions through a genome-wide association study. The genetic diversity panel was genotyped using the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method and phenotyped in two environments during 2017−2018.

- Western Siberia is a significant region for spring wheat in Russia, where a study analyzed the macro- and microelement concentrations across different wheat genetic groups including CIMMYT, Japanese, US hard red spring wheat, and KASIB materials.
- The research, conducted at Omsk State Agrarian University over two years, found positive correlations between protein content and the concentrations of several elements, utilizing multiple regression to assess phenotypic variation and genetic potential for enhancement.
- Key findings highlighted that trace elements like Sr, Mo, and Co are easier to enhance through breeding, while important elements like Mn and Zn proved more challenging to increase genetically, with CIMMYT and Japanese synthetics showing notably higher concentrations of specific beneficial elements.
In recent years, leaf rust (LR) and stem rust (SR) have become a serious threat to bread wheat production in Kazakhstan. Most local cultivars are susceptible to these rusts, which has affected their yield and quality. The development of new cultivars with high productivity and LR and SR disease resistance, including using marker-assisted selection, is becoming an important priority in local breeding projects.
