Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Pea Cultivation in Kazakhstan: Breeding Drought-Resistant Varieties for Sustainable AgricultureKudaibergenov Mukhtar Sarsenbekovich, Kanatkyzy Makpal, Saken Gaukhar Sakenkyzy et al.Peas (Pisum sativum L.) are a vital legume for global food security, yet its cultivation in Kazakhstan faces challenges due to arid conditions and limited moisture availability. Breeding high-yielding, stress resistant varieties is critical to enhance agricultural productivity in the region. This study aimed to develop pea varieties with improved yield, drought resistance, and mechanization adaptability under Kazakhstan's agroecological conditions. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Aug 2025 · 5,249 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Drought Resistance in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Through Chelated Zinc Seed Treatment: An Experimental StudyBekzak Amantayev, Gulden Kipshakbayeva, Arysgul Turbekova et al.Climate change-induced drought is a significant threat to global food security, particularly affecting wheat yields. Despite various strategies to enhance drought resistance in crops, the effectiveness of chelated Zinc (Zn) as a seed treatment agent remains underexplored, especially in the early stages of wheat ontogenesis. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of zinc as a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,414 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seaweed Extracts on Rice Growth and Tolerance to Salinity, Drought and Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)Mir Sayeada Alam, Jannatun Nayeema, S. M. Rafiquzzaman, Motaher HossainRice, a primary staple, confronts a multitude of biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought and salinity, exacerbated by climate change and blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, significantly contribute to yield losses. To tackle the problems, two types of seaweeds-one known as Hypnea musciformis and another unknown-were collected from Saint Martin, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and then examined for the potential of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 May 2024 · 6,506 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seasonal Temperature on the Genotypic Variability of Flowering Duration in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in NigerSani Daouda Ousmane, Mouhamadou Mounkaila Boureima, Maman Nassourou Lawali et al.Heat stress is a major contributor to crop losses worldwide. Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a staple crop for inhabitants of arid and semi-arid regions of the world, due to its extraordinary adaptation to drought and high temperatures. Climate change points to an overall increase in temperature, the effect of which on crop growth and productivity remains to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Nov 2022 · 6,125 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrop Yield and Quality of Lentil Varieties in the Conditions of the Southeast of KazakhstanAlma Zhumabaevna Saikenova, Mukhtar Sarsenbekovich Kudaibergenov, Tаken Nurgassenovich Nurgassenov et al.The article presents the results of the three-year research aimed at studying and determining lentil varieties with high yields, suitable for mechanized harvesting (tall with the high attachment of lower beans), maturing at the same time and non-shedding, as well as resistant to stress factors, for use in breeding. The objectives of the research include the study of lentil varieties … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2021 · 6,652 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbiotic Stress Elicitation on Secondary Metabolites of Red Betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav.) Leaves as Potential Repellent for Rice Bug (Leptocorisa oratorius (F.)Intani Quarta Lailaty, Diah Rachmawati, Laurentius Hartanto NugrohoRice bug, Leptocorisa oratorius (F.), is the main pest of rice plants which can reduce rice productivity significantly. Natural insecticide from plant extract compounds, such as Red Betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav.), is an alternative to reduce the attack of these pests and environmental friendly. This research aimed to study the effect of abiotic stress on plant growth and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2021 · 7,495 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Prediction and Functional Characterization of Genes Related to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)Sukhdeep Kaur, Satendra Singh, Gitanjali Tandon et al.Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is second largest grown legumes worldwide contributing 75% of total pulse production. It is a cool season legume crop and grown in tropical and subtropical areas. Due to drastic climatic changes, chickpea suffers from many biotic (blight and wilt) and abiotic (salinity, drought, cold) stresses that directly impact the growth and yield.

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants.
