Five-in-Five Blog Series: #1 The importance of an inclusive environment in wheat research

Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology is the winner of Competitions for grant financing of projects for the commercialization of the results of scientific and scientific-technical activities  (2017, 2018) and is the main executor and collaborator of 3 projects: 1) Production

For the first time, a genetic map of soft wheat grown in Kazakhstan has been formed, Yerlan Turushpekov, head of the molecular genetics laboratory of the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology of the RK Education and Science Ministry, told a

Weizmann Institute’s WeizMass and MatchWeiz help identify plant metabolites https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-04/wios-wpa040617.php

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have discovered that DNA sequences thought to be essential for gene activity can be expendable. Sequences once called junk sometimes call the shots instead. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-04/uoc—pgm041417.php  

New research has solved a long-standing mystery by deducing how and why strange yet colorful structures called ‘anthocyanic vacuolar inclusions’ occur in some plants. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170316120505.htm

Researchers at Emory University have developed a new database of genetic information that can be used with the latest DNA sequencing technologies to improve the accuracy of plant identification. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-03/bsoa-bbn031517.php

The scientists investigated how transport proteins evolved along with the emergence of new defense compounds. The research goal was to understand how transport proteins acquire the ability to move new toxic compounds — and what comes first in the evolution:

The authors present methods and support methodologies to test for and quantify the impact of salinity on individual traits, such as ion exclusion, maintenance of water relations, transpiration rate and efficiency, ionic relations, photosynthesis, senescence, and maintenance of growth and

Project G4687 “New Phytotechnology for Cleaning Contaminated Military Sites” is granted to the Institute as Multy-Year Research Project by NATO Science for Peace and Security Program (SPS). Beginning of the project: 2016; End of the project: 2018. Project manager from
