Turdieva, A.K. Kayimov, K.I. Baymetov, F.U. Mustafina, E.A. Butkov, editors This publication presents part of the findings of the regional GEF project “In situ/ on farm conservation and use of agricultural biodiversity (horticultural crops and wild fruit species) in Central Asia” implemented in five countries - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The project is coordinated by Bioversity International (IPGRI) with financing from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), and implementation support from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Bioversity International is a research-for-development organization working with partners worldwide to use and conserve agricultural and forest biodiversity for improved livelihoods, nutrition, sustainability and productive and resilient ecosystems.Bioversity International is working towards a world in which smallholder farming communities in developing countries of Africa, Asia and the Americas are thriving and sustainable. Bioversity International focuses on rain-fed farming systems, primarily managed by smallholder farmers, in areas where large- scale agriculture is not a viable option. Its research influences policy decisions and investment in agricultural research, from the local level to the global level. Bioversity International is a member of the CGIAR Consortium, a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. CGIAR research is dedicated to reducing rural poverty, increasing food security, improving human health and nutrition, and ensuring more sustainable management of natural resources. It is carried out by the 15 centers who are members of the CGIAR Consortium in close collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations, including national and regional research institutes, civil society organizations, academia, and the private sector. www.cgiar.org Bioversity International’s headquarters are near Rome, Italy, along with Rome- based UN food agencies FAO, IFAD and WFP. Bioversity International has regional offices in Colombia, Kenya and Malaysia. The organization, founded in 1973, has more than 300 staff and scientists worldwide working with almost 700 partners. www.bioversityinternational.org Citation: Turdieva M.K., Kayimov A.K., Baymetov K.I., Mustafina F.U. and Butkov E.A. editors. 2012.

Cereals (wheat, barley, rice, maize, sorghum), food legumes (bean, chickpea), vegetables (tomato, potato, onion, garlic, coriander), melons, industrial, and stimulant crops (cotton, sugar beet, groundnut, sesame, tobacco) are cultivated in the region. Plant species in the region number 8,100; 890 of them are endemic. About 400 of them are listed in the IUCN “Red Data Book” as endangered. Particularly important crops in Central Asia are the temperate fruit species. Apple (Malus spp.), apricot (Armeniaca vulgaris), peach (Persica vulgaris), pear (Pyrus spp.), plum (Prunus spp.), grape (Vitis vinifera), almond (Amygdalus spp.), pistachio (Pistacia vera), pomegranate (Punica
