Enzymatic Changes In Different Lines of Brachypodium Distachyon Under Rust Infection

Abstract

From the ancient times, humanity has been growing cereals, of which wheat is regarded at
present as the most important staple food. Rust, the most common infector of wheat, is active on the territory
of CIS with 20-25% of infected wheat annually. Creation of pathogen-resistant varieties of cultivated plants
by methods of traditional breeding is long-term, and the evolution of pathogens is ahead of the possibilities
of practical breeding, resulting in lateintroductionof varieties resistant to pathogens into the production
cycle. Our scientific group is the first in Kazakhstan, engaged in detailed studies on the use of
Brachypodium distachyon as a model object for studying changes caused by the brown rust pathogen. Some
results of this study are presented in the current paper.
