Mey. ex A. Beck, <em>Cotoneaster karatavikus<\/em> Pojark., <em>Louiseania ulmifolia<\/em> (Franch.) Pachom, <em>Rosa pavlovii<\/em> Chrshan., <em>Sorbus persica<\/em> Hedl., <em>Malus sieversii<\/em> (Ledeb.) M. Roem. and others. The main reason for the disappearance of plants is human economic activity. The death of plants in large quantities leads to their extinction and to global changes in ecosystems. The most vulnerable are rare species of flora \u2013 relics and endemics, the distribution of which depends on the boundaries of a particular area.<\/p>\n<p>Many countries provide protection for endangered plants. The Red Book has been created in Kazakhstan, which is the main legislative document summarizing materials on the current state of rare and endangered species of plants and animals. In 2014, the second edited and supplemented edition of the Red Book of Plants was published, including 387 species, which is 81 species more than in the first edition of 1981. Replenishment of the list is the result of increasing human economic activity in recent years, as a result of which a further reduction of these species or even their disappearance is obvious.<\/p>\n<p><em>Basic approaches to research<\/em>. It is required to use scientific approaches to preserve the genetic material of endangered <em>Rosaceae<\/em> plants, including biotechnological methods, such as micropropagation, long-term storage in cryogenic banks, as well as restoration of natural populations by biotechnologically obtained plants.<\/p>\n<p><em>Practical significance of research results. <\/em>The studied plants have a valuable medicinal, food, decorative value, which are important objects for breeding, as well as sources of the gene pool. The preservation of these plants <em>in vitro<\/em> and in a cryobank, as well as the restoration of the ecology of their natural habitats, is of practical importance for solving urgent problems of the socio-economic, scientific and technical development of Kazakhstan. The planting stocks obtained during the implementation of the project will be in demand in breeding practice, and can also be sent to mass production for the implementation of the commercialization project.

As a result, 46 seed accessions were placed in a freezer at -20\u00b0: <em>C. ambigua<\/em> (19 forms), <em>M. sieversii<\/em> (5), <em>S. laevigata<\/em> (2), <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em> (20). 246 accessions were placed in a cryogenic bank at -196\u00b0C: <em>C. ambigua<\/em> (40 forms\/120 accessions), <em>M. sieversii <\/em>(19\/57), <em>S. laevigata<\/em> (3\/9), <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em> (20\/60). The creation of a cryogenic DNA bank has begun. To select the optimal method for extracting genomic DNA from leaves, three standard protocols widely used for plant objects were tested. For all accessions, the protocol developed by Doyle and Doyle was optimal. The quality and quantity of the isolated genomic DNA was tested by electrophoresis in 1.2% agarose gel. As a result, 552 samples of total DNA were isolated from 7 species of the <em>Rosaceae<\/em> plants (<em>C. ambigua<\/em> (40 forms\/120 accessions), <em>M. sieversii<\/em> (26\/78), <em>P. tenella<\/em> (12\/36), <em>P. ulmifolia<\/em> (3\/9), <em>S. laevigata<\/em> (11\/33), <em>S. persica<\/em> (24\/72), <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em> (13\/39). DNA was placed in a cryogenic bank at (-196\u00b0C) for long-term storage. For <em>C. ambigua, M. sieversii, P. ulmifolia S. laevigata, S. schrenckianus<\/em>, a protocol for transferring <em>in vitro <\/em>shoots to a soil substrate was developed. For this, the shoots were <em>in vitro <\/em>rooted in LRC on a nutrient medium: \u00bdMS, with 30 g\/l sucrose, 0.5 mg\/l BAP, 0.25 mg\/l IBA, pH 5.7. Rooting in vitro ranged from 56.7 to 100.0%. <em>In vitro<\/em> rooted shoots (root length 2.5-8.0 cm) were transferred to 250 ml polyethylene containers with soil of the following composition: a mixture of black soil, peat, and perlite in the percentage ratio: 50:40:10. The containers were covered with a transparent plastic lid to retain the moisture necessary for shoot adaptation. The planting stocks were adapted in a greenhouse (temperature from 18\u00b0C to 24\u00b0C, humidity 40% without additional lighting. After a week, the plastic cap was removed for 10-15 minutes to ventilate the plants, in the following days the ventilation duration was increased to 8 hours. The adaptation duration was from 3 to 6 weeks. For subsequent adaptation, the plastic caps were removed. As a result, the survival rate of planting material in the greenhouse was from 76.4 to 94.2%.<\/p>\n<p>After 7 months of storage at 4\u00b0C, seeds of 3 forms of <em>C. ambigua<\/em>, 3 forms of <em>M. sieversii<\/em>, 4 forms of <em>S. laevigata<\/em>, and 4 forms of <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em> were planted in polyethylene containers with peat. The resulting germination percentage was 69.7\u00b122.1a for C. ambigua, 76.7\u00b132.2a for <em>M. sieversii<\/em>, 29.7\u00b117.3b for <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em>, and 38.4\u00b123.6b for <em>S. laevigata<\/em>, which is significantly lower than the germination percentage of seeds immediately after collection or after stratification. Accordingly, seed germination after 7 months of storage at 4\u00b0C decreases by almost 3 times for <em>S. laevigata<\/em>, and by more than 2 times for <em>S. schrenckianus<\/em>, by 1.3 times for <em>M. sieversii<\/em>, and by 1.7 times for <em>C. ambigua<\/em>. The resulting planting stocks and saplings will be grown and introduced into natural conditions to restore degrading populations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24665\" src=\"https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1529\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2.png 1529w, https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2-1024x593.png 1024w, https:\/\/ipbb.kz\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image1-2-768x445.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1529px) 100vw, 1529px\" \/><\/a>Figure 1.
