DP21681653 Production of saplings of rare wild fruit species of Zhetysu Alatau by vegetative reproduction
The purpose of the project – production of seedlings of rare wild-fruited species of Zhetysu Alatau through the preservation of unique biological diversity, the formation of collection plantings and the creation of a nursery for the production of fruit products and vegetative reproduction for consumers working in the field of green urban development.
Project objectives:
1. to develop a technological process for green cuttings of wild-fruited plants belonging to the group of easily rooted and medium-sized plants for propagation by green cuttings. A technological process for greening wild-fruited plants is being developed and implemented, and seedlings for reproduction in an amount of at least 20 specimens of each species are taken from the nursery. Regulation of the process of collecting the necessary raw materials.
2. obtaining a pure culture and propagation of microclone by wild fruit plants belonging to the group of difficult-to-root plants. Technologies for microclonal reproduction of wild fruit plant species are being developed, a pure culture is taken, microclimatization is carried out, and seedlings for reproduction in an amount of at least 50 specimens of each species are taken from the nursery.
3. conducting marketing research of the sales market, identifying consumers and concluding purchase and sale agreements for the products received.
4. Construction and organization of a nursery of wild fruit plants, including at least 7 rare species, in accordance with consumer orders.
5. ensuring the annual production of seedlings
The developed and tested technologies of colonization of wild rare species and reproduction of microclones provide the basis for their reproduction for the preservation of the gene pool, the formation of collection plantations, use in the production of fruit products, green urban planning. A nursery will be built and a collection of wild-fruited rare plants will be created, including at least 7 species (Sivers apple, Nedzvetsky Apple, apricot, Almaty hawthorn, Dzungarian hawthorn, or iskra, Tianshan mountain ash, Ili barberry, Meyer currant, etc.).
Expected results.
Genetically identical (1-3-year-old) seedlings of rare wild-fruited species of Zhetysu Alatau will be obtained for reproduction of at least 7 species in the nursery by methods of pure culture, microclonal propagation, and cuttings.
Seedlings of rare wild-fruited species serve as the basis for the reproduction and preservation of the gene pool, the formation of collectible plantations, the production of fruit products of rare wild-fruited plants and use in landscaping (Sievers apple, Nedzvetsky Apple, apricot, Almaty hawthorn, Dzungarian hawthorn, or Iskra, Tianshan mountain ash, Ili barberry, Meyer currant, etc.)
The market of Zhetysu region has been studied by necessity and the sale of pre-planned products. Currently, agreements have been concluded with the National Research and Production Enterprise “Altyn-Emel” and the National Research and Production Enterprise “Dzungar-Alatau” on mutual scientific and creative cooperation, including the organization of activities for the conservation and restoration of unique species of the Zhetysu Alatau. Agreements have also been concluded with gardeners, fruit nurseries for the sale of the obtained seedlings as rootstock, with organizations for landscaping settlements (IP Bagym, IP G4, IP 7-SU).
