Abstract
Kazakhstan has concentrated unique genetic resources of plant agrobiodiversity of world significance. It has received international recognition for fruit agro-biodiversity and, above all, wild apple, which is highly resistant to many diseases, high frost resistance, and wide ecological plasticity. Kazakhstan is the original genetic center of biological variability of wild apples and, historically, has formed their rich gene pool. Wild apple species in Kazakhstan are genetically kindred to cultivated varieties of the world. Genetic diversity and polymorphism of Malus Sieversii (Ledeb.) from Ile Alatau and Dzhungraian Alatau were studied with ISSR markers.
