The primary center of biodiversity of the genus is Central Asia, including Kazakhstan. There are at least 127 species of the Allium genus in Kazakhstan, at least 29 of which are endemic. The Red Book of Wild Flora of Kazakhstan lists 12 species growing in the south, southeast, and east of the country. Onions have vast economic importance, are food and medicinal plants, and are widely used in medicine, industry, and horticulture. At the same time, due to the large size of the genus, the complex genetic structure caused by different ploidy and different numbers of main chromosomes, and the difficulty in determining morphological characters, there are difficulties in the taxonomic identification of species. Also, the genus is constantly replenished with newly discovered species. For example, in 2021, 5 new endemic onion species were described for the flora of Kazakhstan. Consequently, there is a need to clarify the taxonomy of the genus growing in Kazakhstan using modern molecular genetic and genomic methods, including complete sequencing of plastid genomes. The most informative tools in the study of genetic diversity and molecular taxonomy of plants are highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers (SSR-simple sequence repeats), universal DNA barcodes, and relatively inexpensive methods for determining complete sequences of chloroplast genomes. Plant-derived secondary metabolites play an important role in adaptation to various stress conditions. Studying the biochemical diversity of widespread species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em> based on the analysis of secondary metabolites is important for scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>Studying the genetic diversity of wild species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em> growing in southern and southeastern Kazakhstan is of great importance for the conservation of biological diversity, understanding the evolution and adaptation of plants to changing environmental conditions, and developing effective strategies for the management and conservation of natural resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The goal of the project: <\/strong>To study the genetic diversity of wild species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em> growing in the territory of southern and southeastern Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Expected results<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Plant populations of wild onion species will be collected and the collection of DNA collected in the territory of southern and south-eastern Kazakhstan will be replenished.<\/li>\n<li>A quantitative and qualitative analysis of secondary metabolites of widespread onion species collected in southern and southeastern Kazakhstan will be carried out.<\/li>\n<li>The population structure will be determined and the intra- and interspecific genetic diversity of Kazakhstan species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em> will be studied.<\/li>\n<li>The nucleotide sequences of DNA markers of the nuclear and chloroplast genome of <em>Allium<\/em> species will be determined, and the phylogenetic tree of the genus will be reconstructed.<\/li>\n<li>The complete nucleotide sequence of chloroplast genomes of certain species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em> collected in southern and southeastern Kazakhstan will be determined.<\/li>\n<li>The database \u201cBiodiversity of flora in Kazakhstan\u201d will be updated with information on the distribution and genetic diversity of species of the genus <em>Allium<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific Supervisor of the project:<\/strong> Saule Abugalieva, principal researcher, Doctor of Biological Sciences (genetics), Professor (biology).
