Results for 2025:

During the second year of implementing the Program’s objectives and activities, studies
were continued:

• on large-scale phenotyping of barley, bread wheat, maize, soybean, and pea

collections;

• genotyping of collections using chip-based next-generation sequencing

technologies (Illumina, Affymetrix) and KASP, Amplifluor, and ASQ DNA-
marking technologies;

• identification of QTLs associated with valuable traits using GWAS methodology;
• traditional methods of breeding, morphophysiology, biochemistry, and

immunology, as well as modern approaches of genomics, biotechnology, and
bioinformatics were applied at various stages of practical breeding.

• Promising genotypes/lines with valuable genes and favorable alleles associated

with important breeding traits were identified and transferred for further
acceleration and improvement (doubled haploids, SSD, Speed breeding) of
breeding programs and seed production.

• Promising lines of barley and wheat, identified as a result of the scientific

groundwork and the current Program, have undergone various stages of testing,
the best of which have been transferred to State Cultivar Trials - cultivars of
spring barley (3) and soft wheat (2), created as a result of ongoing comprehensive
research by the Program participants.

As part of the implementation of the Program, Coordination meetings were held both
online and offline throughout the year, as well as Field Days and experimental trials evaluation
at the A.I. Barayev Research and Production Center of Grain Farming and Karabalyk AES, and
a workshop at I. Zhansugurov Zhetysu University and School for Young Plant Breeders. All
reports from the co-executing organizations were presented at the Scientific Councils of the
respective institutions and during the online Coordination meeting held on October 3, 2025 and
offline December 8, 2025. Master’s and doctoral students from al-Farabi Kazakh National
University, S. Seifullin Kazakh Agrotechnical Research University, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian
National University, and Zhetysu University named after I. Zhansugurov participated in the
work as members of the research teams of these co-executing organizations. International
scientists participated in the Program on a voluntary basis, including Professor Simon Griffiths
(John Innes Centre, United Kingdom).
