The main directions of scientific research:

• Development of genetic, molecular genetic methods for creating and evaluating wheat source material;
• Studying the genetics of resistance to three types of wheat rust (Puccinia striiformisf.sp. tritici, Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici, Puccinia graminis f.sp.tritici) and to smut (Tilletia caries) using classical and molecular methods of genetics and selection ;
• Studying the genetics of resistance to diseases of wheat leaf spots (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, Septoria tritici), using molecular markers and selective toxins of pathogenic fungi to increase the productivity and resistance of wheat varieties to diseases.
• Associative mapping for resistance to wheat diseases in the collection of soft wheat varieties.
• Integration of methods for identifying wheat resistance genes and selecting promising forms in classical breeding programs for wheat improvement — Marker Assisted Selection.
• Development of promising lines and new varieties of wheat, combining high productivity, grain quality and other economically valuable traits and properties.

The major achievements:

• A series of works in the field of quantitative and molecular genetics, aimed at the genetic improvement and the creation of a valuable source of wheat material were carried out.
• Using a complex of morphological (Ltn) and microsatellite markers the new carriers and donors of durable durable resistance with Adult Plant Resistance gene Lr34 were developed.
• The theoretical basis for the formation agamospermal forms of wheat that improve the selection process by fixing heterosis effect were studied;
• Genetics of resistance to wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis) in the number of entries was studied and, on this basis highly efficient methods of prediction of the resistance to disease have been developed. Effective in the region rust resistance genes were identified.
• Marker Assisted Selection methods for identification of disease-resistant lines into breeding are developed and implemented.
• On the basis of study of race structure of the pathogen striiformis 10 new virulent rust pathotypes have been identified.
• Genetic control of resistance to aggressive races striiformis in commercial cultivars of wheat was studied. Using molecular marker 27 gene carriers of Yr18, 35 carriers of Yr5, 21 carriers of Yr15, and 9 carriers of Yr10 gene.
• The donors of resistance to stem rust of wheat was revealed and the collection of samples of wheat, combining field and seedling resistance to disease with high productivity was formed; the carriers of Sr-genes effective against dangerous stem rust race Ug99 have been identified; selected 22 wheat lines resistant to 5 virulent pathotypes graminis.
• A technology commercial varieties of wheat improvement for resistance to leaf rust was developed; On the basis of molecular screening in wheat material the genes Lr29, Lr10, Lr35/Sr39, Lr24/Sr24, Lr68, Lr37/Sr38/Yr17, Lr19/Sr25, Lr26/Sr31/Yr9/Pm8 have been identified.

Services

• Training – on the basis of the laboratory, educational, research and production practices of students, undergraduates and PhD-doctoral students of biological and agricultural profile are held annually.
• Internships and trainings for interested scientists to teach modern methods of phytopathological and molecular identification of initial material for wheat breeding.
• Genetic improvement of commercially valuable wheat varieties using marker assisted selection technology.
• For the National Gene Pool of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an identified breeding and disease resistant material is annually generated and transmitted.
• For breeding institutions and farms services in the field of identification and registration of new varieties, analyzes in seed production and seed control, the study of the genetic diversity of a species or culture are offered. Protein markers are used to establish the originality, uniformity and constancy of varieties of different agricultural crops.
• Farmers can be provided with services for screening and phytopathological evaluation of wheat crop for disease resistance — on request.
• Phytosanitary monitoring services for grain crops in order to predict the phytosanitary situation with respect to rust types and leaf spot diseases can be provided.
• A modern technology is proposed — marker selection, i.e. selection using molecular markers, which allows to evaluate the potential of resistance and the presence of disease resistance genes in the genotypes of cultivated varieties. Individual technologies of genetic and agrochemical protection of plants against diseases can be developed.
• Courses «Marker Assisted Selection for the accelerated development of disease-resistant wheat varieties.» The duration of training — 10 days.
