- Spring wheat in Kazakstan: current status and future directions(CIMMYT, 1998) Morgounov, A.; Satybaldin, A.; Rajaram, S.; McNab, A.The Republic of Kazakstan is an important grain producer. Spring wheat constitutes 90% of total wheat production. The temperature profile, dry climate, and soil conditions in the main grain producing regions favor the production of high quality wheat grain. The quality of durum wheat varieties produced in Kazakstan was once unique in the world. The wheat of Kazakstan is highly valued on both the domestic and international markets for making bread, biscuits, and alcohol. Today the domestic market consumes only one third of Kazakstan's total wheat production; the rest is exported. Kazakstan is a full member of the Grain Trading Committee and has the status of an observer in the International Grain Council's Committee for Food Assistance. This is also the contribution of Kazakstan's agricultural scientists, who developed and released highly productive wheat varieties for the country's different climatic zones, organized seed production, and developed regional cultivation technologies. However, due to the strong competition on the international market, it is necessary to speed up the development and release of high yielding wheat varieties with good grain quality that are well adapted to the harsh soil and climatic conditions, pests, and diseases that prevail in our country. The quality of our bread wheat varieties must meet international standards so that we can sell Kazakstan grain on the international market. It is not possible to solve the problems of wheat production in Kazakstan without utilizing world experience and global plant genetic resources, and without cooperating closely with foreign scientists. This is why I support the development of a collaborative spring wheat research program with CIMMYT, which works under the auspices of the United Nations and cooperates with scientists from countries all over the world.
Publication - Wheat breeding: objectives, methodology, and progress(CIMMYT, 1996) Morgounov, A.; Vlasenko, V.A.; McNab, A.; Braun, H.J.Proceedings of the Ukraine / CIMMYT Workshop, Wheat Breeding: Objectives, Methodology, and Progress held in Mironovka, Kiev Region, Ukraine, June 12-14, 1995.
Publication - Wheat and wheat breeding in the former USSR(CIMMYT, 1992) Morgounov, A.The USSR is one of the main wheat-producing countries in the world. It has a longestablished wheat breeding network involving institutes and stations nationwide. Soviet scientists have contributed to modern varieties and germplasm as well as to scientific knowledge about wheat genetics, physiology, and breeding. Up to now information for English-speaking audiences about wheat and wheat breeding in the USSR has been very limited. The objective of this review by A.I. Morgunov, associate scientist in the CIMMYT Wheat Program, is to present the current status of wheat breeding in the region. He concentrates on breeding objectives and methods and the organization of the breeding system itself. Although we realize that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) no longer exists, the name is used for simplicity and because the events described refer to a period before the breakup of the Soviet Union. Due to the lack of literature, this special report often refers to a book published in the USSR, Wheats of the World (Dorofeev et al. 1987), which gives a very comprehensive description of wheat breeding in the country.
