GWAS-Derived Marker–Trait Associations and KASP Marker Development for Barley Breeding in Kazakhstan: Achievements, Limitations, and Future Prospects

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) link germplasm diversity to molecular markers for crop improvement. This review synthesizes nine barley GWAS articles and two articles on the development or validation of GWAS-derived Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) assays relevant to...

Exploratory SSR-Based Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Differentiation Among Four Wild Almond Populations in Kazakhstan

Wild almond relatives are valuable reservoirs of allelic variation for crop improvement and conservation, yet Kazakhstan’s wild-almond genetic resources remain poorly characterised. We conducted an exploratory SSR assessment of 80 putative individuals from four taxon-locality gro...
