Germplasm research for sustainable wheat production has undergone a significant development in recent years. Considerable progress has been witnessed in breeding, especially with the selection of winter wheat genotypes with better adaptability to different technological systems in multifunctional agricultural production. The selection of wheat genotypes with abiotic and biotic resistance, stable performance under different fertilizer applications and for various technological systems, will contribute to the development of germplasm with special adaptation type and to that of environment-friendly technologies.

Crop production in Central Asia has long history going back to 2000-3000 years BC. The farming in the past was mainly concentrated in irrigated areas along the two main river basins: AmuDarya and Syr-Darya. Wheat cultivation in Central Asia in the 20th century concentrated primarily in rainfed area. The breeding work conducted at several stations in the region was initially based on local landraces and resulted in adapted varieties. However, the breeding work was not consistent and interrupted. Since 1991 the wheat became an important crop due to food security concern and replaced cotton in some areas. The modern varieties …
