PLANT MICROCLONAL PROPAGATION LABORATORY

GOAL
  • The main goal of the laboratory is to develop effective methods for rapid, large-scale propagation and recovery of promising plant species and varieties of the Zhetysu Alatau
OBJECTIVES
  • Development of microclonal and vegetative propagation methods – conducting biotechnological research to obtain fast-growing, efficient, and healthy plant seedlings.
  • Preservation of the plant gene pool of the Zhetysu Alatau – propagation of valuable plant species and contributing to the conservation of their biological diversity.
  • Production of high-quality seedlings – cultivation of highly productive, disease-resistant plants adapted to the local climate.
  • Implementation of new technologies – commercialization of microclonal and vegetative propagation methods and their adaptation for agriculture and landscaping.
  • Scientific research – studying the plants of the Zhetysu Alatau, publishing results in the scientific community, and introducing them into practice.
  • Training of specialists – providing education, internships, and professional development in biotechnology and plant propagation.
FIELD OF ACTIVITY
  • The activities of the laboratory are aimed at developing and improving microclonal and vegetative propagation technologies for promising plant species and varieties of the Zhetysu Alatau, studying methods of plant propagation, sanitation, and adaptation under in vitro conditions, and producing high-quality planting material adapted to local natural and climatic conditions, characterized by high productivity and disease resistance. In addition, the laboratory focuses on conserving the plant gene pool of the Zhetysu Alatau, propagating valuable and rare plant species, studying the effects of nutrient media, phytohormones, and external factors on plant growth and development, introducing microclonal and vegetative propagation technologies into agriculture, landscaping, and natural resource restoration, applying research results in scientific projects, publications, conferences, and practical activities, as well as participating in the training of students, master’s students, doctoral students, and specialists in biotechnology, plant propagation, and planting material production.
