The wild apricot tree, Armeniaca vulgaris, is a special native species that is important for both the natural environment and the economy in farming areas of Kazakhstan. This study focused on developing selected forms of this tree in both natural environments and lab settings to evaluate their economic benefits. Initially, we gathered top-performing samples from different regions, picking them based on how they grow, their resistance to difficult conditions, and the quality of their fruits. Lab techniques, specifically tissue culture, were then used to rapidly grow these samples and preserve their genetic material. We discovered significant differences in their organic contents, such as vitamin C and phenols, and in their physical traits among the various groups. Early findings revealed 15 outstanding types with strong economic advantages. These types produced 20-35% more fruit than the regional average and have excellent potential for establishing sustainable orchards and processing industries. Using both traditional and modern scientific methods, this study provides an approach to preserving and economically utilizing Kazakhstan's native genetic resources.
