Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max) is the most common among leguminous and oilseed crops in the world. According to the FAO classification, soybeans belong to oilseed crops, but it is a universal crop due to its high content of proteins, fat and carbohydrates. In the last decade, soybean has become very popular in the agriculture of Kazakhstan, especially in the northern grain-growing regions. However, there is a lag in yield from the largest producing countries, the main reasons are natural conditions, the use of less productive varieties, technical and technological lag. Also, an equally important reason is the spread of various diseases, which often leads to a decrease in the yield and quality of soybean seeds. In this regard, for the timely, correct and effective implementation of control measures, a deep study and identification of pathogens, in particular fungal diseases, is relevant. The article presents the results of studies on the study of fungi of the genus Alternaria Spp isolated from the affected organs of soybean plants. To identify the fungal strains, we used the method of determining the direct nucleotide sequence of the ITS region, followed by determining the nucleotide identity with the sequences deposited in the international Gene Bank database, as well as constructing phylogenetic trees with nucleotide sequences. As a result of the analyses, we identified strains related to Alternaria destruens.
