Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntroduction of the Pasture Plant Fescue (Festuca valesiaca) for the Improvement of Degraded Pastures in the Steppe Zone of KazakhstanMeldebekova Nurgul Alikhanovna, Seitbattalova Ainur Islamovna, Ainebekova Bakyt Alpysbaevna et al.This study presents the results of a comprehensive evaluation of Festuca valesiaca, a dominant perennial grass species widely used in steppe ecosystems for pasture improvement. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of native fescue species in enhancing productivity and resilience of degraded rangelands under arid conditions. However, breeding efforts for this species in Kazakhstan remain insufficiently developed. The research was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnhancing the Effectiveness of Feed Production in Arid Areas, Northern Kazakhstan, Considering the Utilization of Soil Moisture ResourcesKudaybergen Konopianov, Irina Anikina, Karina Omarova et al.The problems of sustainability of crop production in arid regions are actual. Moreover, often the aridity factor is combined with other stress factors, such as elevated temperatures and soil salinity. The article evaluates the effectiveness of the use of moisture and heat resources when growing fodder crops in arid conditions with a short growing season. In order to compare the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 24 May 2024 · 4,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiological Characteristics and Productivity of Sweet Sorghum Varieties in the Arid Conditions of Southeastern KazakhstanGulnaz Baiseitova, Gheorghe Moraru, Batyrbek Sarsenbayev et al.The research is aimed at studying the characteristics of growth, productivity and sugar content of Kazakh and foreign-bred sweet sorghum varieties and hybrids in the arid conditions of the southeast of Kazakhstan. The biometric and phenological characteristics of sweet sorghum varieties have been determined. Characteristics of soluble sugars accumulation and distribution in individual organs of sorghum have been shown.

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 PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrigolactones in Plant Stress Adaptation: Mechanisms and Agricultural PotentialHumayra Ferdus, Mahabuba Mostafa, Md. Motaher HossainAbiotic stresses have significant negative effects on the growth, development, and productivity of crop plants, which are critical to global agricultural production and ecosystem stability. Strigolactones (SLs), a family of carotenoid-derived plant phytohormones, have been identified as playing key roles in plant development and adaptive responses to environmental stimuli. Initially recognized as signaling molecules in host-parasite interactions and as symbiotic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2026 · 559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Lentil Breeding Models for South-East Kazakhstan: Yield, Adaptability, and Protein EnhancementSaikenova Alma Zhumabaevna, Kudaibergenov Mukhtar Sarsenbekovich, Kanatkyzy Makpal et al.This study presents the development of a model for optimizing lentil breeding in the agroclimatic conditions of southeastern Kazakhstan. By evaluating 31 lentil varieties and hybrid populations (F1, F2, and F3), key economically valuable traits such as yield, protein content, drought resistance, and adaptability to mechanized harvesting were identified. A systematic selection process enabled the creation of lentil variety models … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 24 Sep 2025 · 3,201 accessesView PDFCite
