    BMC Plant Biology, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a widely cultivated food legume that is vulnerable to a variety of abiotic stressors, which can impair its growth and development and ultimately reduce yields. Some genes that confer resistance to abiotic stressors have already been identified and characterized. The GRAS gene family comprises transcriptional factors that play diverse roles in plant growth, development, and abiotic stress tolerance. Despite extensive studies in other crops, the GRAS gene family has not been characterized in lentil. RESULTS: This study identified 50 members of the GRAS gene family in lentils, distributed across seven chromosomes and classified into nine distinct subfamilies. Additionally, 13 duplication events were identified, comprising two tandem gene pairs and 11 segmental gene pairs. Synteny analysis discovered that segmental duplication predominated over tandem duplication among the GRAS genes. Based on RNA-Seq data, 10 genes exhibiting higher expression levels across various lentil plant tissues and developmental stages were selected for RT-qPCR analysis to validate these genes. Ten LcGRAS genes from five subfamilies - DELLA (LcGRAS34), PAT1 (LcGRAS01, LcGRAS02, LcGRAS04, LcGRAS18, LcGRAS11), LISCL (LcGRAS41, LcGRAS25), SCR (LcGRAS31), and HAM (LcGRAS40) - exhibited a significant response to abiotic stresses such as chromium, salt, and drought, as demonstrated by qRT-PCR analysis. It was hypothesized that members of the LcGRAS family play a crucial role in stress tolerance, as the expression of LcGRAS04, LcGRAS11, and LcGRAS25 genes from the PAT1 and LISCL subfamilies was significantly up-regulated at specific time points during the treatment period. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing valuable insights into the evolutionary dynamics of the LcGRAS gene family, our research lays the groundwork for future studies on the functional activities of GRAS genes in lentils.

    Journal of Phytopathology, 2026
    The phytosanitary quality of apple rootstocks is a key determinant of sustainable orchard production, as latent viral and viroid infections are readily transmitted through vegetative propagation. In Kazakhstan, systematic molecular monitoring of apple rootstock material remains limited. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of major viral and viroid pathogens in apple rootstocks used in nursery systems in Kazakhstan using RT‐qPCR. Molecular testing covered nine regulated viruses and viroids of the genus Malus . Positive results were obtained for four pathogens: Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple green crinkle‐associated virus (AGCaV) and Apple hammerhead viroid (AHVd). AGCaV was the most widespread, being detected in the majority of the samples, whereas AHVd was observed only sporadically, with a borderline amplification signal indicating a very low viroid titre, and is reported here for the first time in Kazakhstan. The detection of ASPV and ACLSV confirms the presence of mixed latent infections in apple rootstock material. These findings highlight the presence of hidden viral infections in nursery material and underscore the urgent need for a national certification system, regular molecular monitoring and the development of in vitro sanitation programmes. Such measures are essential to ensure the phytosanitary safety and competitiveness of Kazakhstan's fruit production sector.
  • Revealing the genetic diversity and population structure in lentil (Lens culinaris) germplasm using inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposon markers

    BMC Plant Biology, 2025
    BACKGROUND: Lentil (L. culinaris ssp. culinaris) is a climate-resilient legume crop that plays a key role in global food security and sustainable agriculture. Understanding genetic diversity and population structure is essential for conserving genetic resources, enhancing breeding strategies, and developing improved, high-performing cultivars. RESULTS: The genetic diversity and population structure of 96 lentil genotypes were evaluated using 15 iPBS-retrotransposon markers, which produce a total of 346 scorable bands. Among these primers, iPBS-2376 yielded the highest number of bands (33). The polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.17 to 0.38, indicating a broad range of marker informativeness. Genetic diversity analysis revealed a mean gene diversity (h) of 0.29, a Shannon information index (I) of 0.44, and an effective number of alleles (Ne) of 1.48. The maximum genetic distance (0.88) was observed between genotypes G25 (Pakistan25) and G94 (Cagil), reflecting this genetic divergence. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 82% of the total variation occurred within populations. The STRUCTURE analysis and neighbor-joining (NJ) clustering consistently grouped the genotypes into two distinct clusters, largely corresponding to their geographic origins. Similarly, Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) further confirmed this separation based on geographic distribution. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate considerable genetic diversity within the lentil germplasm. This suggests that these accessions can be employed in breeding programs to design improved lentil cultivars with enhanced resilience, higher crop output, and broader adaptability.

    Viral diseases pose a serious threat to commercial horticulture, reducing crop yields, fruit quality, and the longevity of fruit trees. Pear (Pyrus communis L.) is susceptible to a variety of viral pathogens, among which Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), and Apple rubbery wood virus 1 (ARWV-1) were selected for this study due to their known latent nature and difficulty of early detection. Effective plant recovery from viruses is key to creating healthy planting material and implementing clonal micropropagation programs. This study evaluated the effectiveness of in vitro thermotherapy combined with meristem culture for virus elimination in pear cultivars: “Noyabrskaya” “Talgarskaya Krasavitsa”, “Anjou” and “Harrow Delight”. For each variety combination, two methods were tested: (1) direct cultivation of apical meristems and (2) preliminary thermotherapy followed by meristem isolation. Viral infection was diagnosed using a double antibody in the DAS-ELISA format and confirmed by real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR); the results of both methods were completely consistent. The combined approach resulted in significantly higher virus elimination rates (up to 85.7%) compared to the isolated meristem method (up to 50%). The highest recovery efficiency was recorded in the “Noyabrskaya” infected with two viruses (ApMV and ARWV-1). Despite the lower survival rate after thermotherapy, this method demonstrated high reliability in obtaining virus-free material. The results obtained confirm the feasibility of using in vitro thermotherapy in combination with meristem culture in the production of certified pear planting material.

    Viral infections in stone fruit crops cause substantial economic losses across all sectors of production. Despite their significance, viruses affecting stone fruits remain under-investigated in Kazakhstan. Among these, plum pox virus (PPV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae), commonly known as Sharka, is the most critical viral pathogen worldwide, severely threatening the sustainable cultivation of stone fruits and posing risks to food security. This study aimed to evaluate virus management strategies in stone fruit crops to facilitate the production of healthy planting material from valuable genotypes. Field surveys were conducted in plum and apricot orchards located in the Almaty region (Southeast Kazakhstan) and the Saryagash region (Southern Kazakhstan). Plant samples were tested for the presence of the following viruses: apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple mosaic virus (ApMV), PPV, prune dwarf virus (PDV), prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), cherry green ring mottle virus (CGRMV), and myrobalan latent ringspot virus (MLRSV). Real-time RT-PCR diagnostics confirmed the presence of PPV in the ‘Stanley’ and ‘Ansar’ cultivars and Prunus armeniaca genotypes, while both PPV and ACLSV were detected in the ‘Ayana’ variety. Chemotherapy (Ribavirin), thermotherapy, cryotherapy, and shoot apical meristem (SAM) culture, both individually and in combination, were used to eliminate viruses and regenerate virus-free plants. Successful virus eradication was achieved for PPV and ACLSV. However, the ‘Stanley’ and ‘Ansar’ cultivars did not survive the treatment process, likely due to high thermo- or cryo-sensitivity. As a result of this research, an in vitro collection of virus-free plants was established, comprising eight rootstocks, six plum cultivars, and three apricot genotypes.

    The most effective method to combat desertification is planting artificial forests of Populus pruinosa. In the Zhetysu and Almaty regions, samples were gathered from natural stands, which P. pruinosa and P. diversifolia likely displaced. The morphological attributes of 27 samples were related to one species, but one sample was causing doubt. PCR analyses were performed using eight microsatellite markers. The genotyping results revealed that all of the 28 samples collected were of the same type of P. pruinosa. They can effectively be introduced into in vitro culture in winter when physiological dormancy has ended. Annual lignified cuttings 6 to 7 cm long with 1 to 2 buds from selected plus trees were sterilized from saprophytic microflora by bleach NaOCl (1:1) for 10 min and 0.1% HgCl2 solution for 5 min and placed on the medium. Both male and female plants were propagated in the medium that contained ½ Murashige and Skoog (MS), 0.1 mg L-1 BAP; 0.02 mg L-1 GA; 20 g L-1 Glucose; pH 5.7, where the multiplication rate averaged 3.8 to 4.5, and the shoot length at 5.7 to 7.0 cm in 4 to 6 wk. For the transferring regenerated plants to soil in pots, the best substrate was found as peat, humus, and sand at a ratio of 50:40:10, respectively.

    Scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is the most destructive fungal disease of apple worldwide. Apple scab incidence was studied in apple orchards in the south and southeast of Kazakhstan, including the Almaty, Zhambyl, and Turkestan regions, during 2022 and 2023. Disease incidence was higher in the Zhambyl region than in the Turkestan and Almaty regions in both years. The field evaluation suggested that 19 genotypes showed resistance to apple scab. Molecular screening was carried out using eight gene-specific molecular markers (AM19, CH05e03, OPL19, Hi07f02, AL07, K08, HB09, and CH02f06). The results of the molecular screening revealed that in 38 of the 45 studied cultivars, which included 11 Kazakh cultivars and 34 foreign cultivars, the Rvi (Rvi2, Rvi4, Rvi5, Rvi6, Rvi8, Rvi9, Rvi11, Rvi14, and Rvi15) resistance genes were amplified. Resistance genes such as Rvi2, Rvi4, Rvi6, and Rvi9 are still useful for breeding, but their use is recommended only in extended pyramids of multiple resistance genes. Several cultivars will be strong candidates for further breeding programs against apple scab and for the pyramiding of scab resistance genes in new cultivars.

    Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2024
    One of the main stages of cryopreservation of meristematic tissues in vegetative plants is a clonal micropropagation, which includes isolating the explants of the raw material in vitro and optimizing the culture medium for micropropagation. As the result of our studies, the optimal periods for in vitro micropropagation are: first - isolation of explants from initiated shoots of dormant buds (blackcurrants and raspberries) in January-March; the second - from actively growing shoots (blackcurrants and raspberries) in May-June, from the formed mustache (strawberry) in July-August. The optimal drugs for sterilization of raspberry explants are: a) 0.1% HgCl2 (6 min), then 3% H2O2 (15 min); b) chlorine-containing bleach «Domestos» in the dilution of H2O 1:9 (10 min). For blackcurrant: a) 0.1% HgCl2 (5 min) in combination with 0.1% fungicide “Topaz” (30 min); b) 0.1% HgCl2 (5 min) in combination with the treatment with KMnO4 (30 min); c) “Domestos” in the dilution of H2O 1:5 (20 min). For strawberry: a) 0.1% HgCl2 (6 min) followed by treatment with 3% H2O2 10 (min); b) 1% deochlor (7 min), 3% H2O2 (10 min); c) “Domestos” in the dilution of H2O 1:5 (8 min) with subsequent treatment 0,1% HgCl2 -7 min, then 0,20 mg/l КМnO4 - 30 min. Optimal compositions of culture media for micropropagation of blackcurrant - Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 0.5 mg L-1 BAP, 0.5 mg L-1 GA3, 0.1 mg L-1 IBA and 20 g L-1 glucose. For raspberry -MS medium with 0.5 mg L-1 BAP, 0.1 mg L-1 IBA, 10 mg L-1 iron chelate and 30 g L-1 sucrose. For strawberry - MS medium with 0.3 mg L-1 BAP, 0.01 mg L-1 IBA, 0.2 mg L-1 GA3, 10 mg L-1 iron chelate and 30 g L-1 sucrose. Based on these studies, the cryobank was created, which include the germplasm of in vitro meristematic tissues in 66 cultivars, hybrids and wild-growing forms of blackcurrant, raspberry and strawberry. Therefore, the aim of the research was to obtain aseptic plants, clonal micropropagation and the creation of a cryogenic collection of germplasm based on the developed technology.

    The apple (Malus domestica [Suckow] Borkh) is economically and culturally significant worldwide, thriving in temperate regions. This study examined genetic variations among 52 apple accessions from three research centers in Kazakhstan using the iPBS-retrotransposons marker system. Out of 35 screened markers, 12 highly polymorphic markers were selected for PCR amplification, resulting in 280 bands, 279 of which were polymorphic, yielding a 99.64% polymorphism rate. Genetic diversity indices showed substantial variation: effective number of alleles (ne=1.655), Shannon's information index (I=0.373), gene diversity (h=0.549), and an average genetic distance of 1.2. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated that 98.80% of the variation was within the population. STRUCTURE analysis grouped the germplasm into two populations and one unclassified group based on collection centers. Both the neighbor-joining tree and PCoA supported the STRUCTURE results, dividing the germplasm into two groups. The study highlighted significant genetic variation among apple accessions, demonstrating the effectiveness of the iPBS-retrotransposons marker system. The STRUCTURE analysis provided clearer separation of accessions compared to neighbor-joining trees. The highest genetic distance of 1.2 was observed between the Tyulpan and Red Chief samples, making these accessions suitable candidates for advanced breeding initiatives.
