Abstract

This study investigated the variability of Kazakh wheat among several varieties in plant
height. By analyzing and examining the results, we can show students the genetic and
environmental factors affecting plant height, as well as ways to improve wheat productivity. It is
assumed that it is important to present the research results to students to develop their skills in
interpreting genetic data and understanding the relationship between the variability of plant traits
and their adaptation to environmental conditions. This knowledge contributes to the development
of competencies in the field of breeding and agrobiotechnology, which is especially important in
the context of food security and sustainable agriculture in Kazakhstan. Research Wheat grains
were sown and grown in the greenhouse of Zhetysu University named after Ilyas Zhansugirov,
Taldykorgan city to determine the variability of plant height. Analyses were conducted to
determine the genetic relationship between plant height and its components. This study examines
the determinants and factors of change in plant height of Kazakh wheat to provide an idea to
students and breeders. This is because understanding that different characteristics are related to
plant height opens up a lot of new discoveries for students.
