| A brief annotation | "Kazakhstan is the homeland of apples on the planet" - this conclusion was made by the British scientists from Oxford, examining the DNA of the «codling» apple sort and other varieties of these fruit. Together with scientists from the U.S., Canada and other countries, they have proved that just the genes of wild Kazakhstan apple tree were the bases of most widely known apple sorts worldwide. Natural depository of this genofond is the wild fruit forests of the south and south-east of Kazakhstan. |
