Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The decline in plant diversity is a pressing global issue driven by climate change, plant diseases, and humanactivities. This reduction in biodiversity poses significant threats to food security and the sustainability ofecosystems. Conserving wild plant species is crucial as they harbor genes that confer resistance to various bioticand abiotic stresses. One such important species is the Regel pear, endemic to Kazakhstan, known for itsresistance to drought and diseases. During research efforts, samples of Regel pear were collected from theirnatural habitats. Using SSR markers, researchers identified samples that exhibited resistance to scab. In a pioneeringstep, optimal in vitro cultivation conditions were developed to preserve this economically valuablespecies. The sterilization process for establishing in vitro culture and subsequent regeneration was established.The multiplication conditions were refined using DKW nutrient medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/lBAP, 0.5 mg/l IBA, and 0.2 mg/l GA3. These measures aim to ensure the long-term conservation of geneticdiversity and enhance agricultural resilience to environmental changes.
