Genes of endemic species in Tuz Lake to provide agricultural sustainability
In a groundbreaking initiative, genes extracted from endemic plant species native to Tuz Lake region, which supplies the majority of the country's salt, will be harnessed to combat drought and enhance agricultural sustainability.
This will be accomplished by passing these genes on to plants that can withstand drought, such as wheat, rye, barley, clover and other similar species.
