An independent researcher of the Faculty of Biology of Samarkand State University, Ikhtiyor Akramov, is conducting a scientific study on the topic “Endophytic microorganisms Ceratoides ewersmanniana and the biotechnological basis for their application in practice”. Scientific advisor-associate professor of Samarkand State University, Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences ran Alikulov.

    “We are conducting scientific research on endophytic microorganisms of the teresken plant, which is widespread in the arid southern regions of Uzbekistan,” says Ikhtiyor Akramov. - Teresken is considered a highly nutritious plant for livestock and is adapted to growing in arid regions, in areas with rare water. Global warming around the world leads to the fact that the vegetation cover of many territories decreases and dries up. In particular, this affects some regions of our country. Therefore, it is so important to study the endophytic microorganisms of the Teresken plant and conduct research on them. In the course of research, we made scientific trips to the southern regions of Uzbekistan and brought samples of the teresken plant. We sterilized these samples in the laboratory of molecular biotechnology and isolated endophytic microorganisms from them. In the course of our studies, 35 isolates from endophytic bacteria and 4 isolates from endophytic fungi were isolated. The properties of these isolated microorganisms to stimulate plant growth were studied, and among them, 4 bacterial isolates with the highest score were identified and identified. The main goal of our scientific research is to identify the features of stimulating the growth of agricultural plants and the development of biotechnological methods for expanding drought-resistant vegetation cover. Our scientific research is currently ongoing.

    Based on the results of scientific research, the researcher published 3 scientific articles in republican journals included in the OAK list, and 1 scientific article in a prestigious Indian journal, as well as about 15 abstracts at republican and international conferences
