Tests performance study for the detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa, causal agent of Citrus Black Spot (CBS) (Project)
Phyllosticta citricarpa (EPPO A1 List), the causative agent of “citrus black spot” disease (CBS), affects citrus plants throughout subtropical climates, causing a reduction in both fruit quantity and quality. The major issues in the molecular identification of P. citricarpa are related with the possibility to clearly distinguish this species from the closely related taxa, such as P....

Microbial proteins as food product? (Project)
Given the constantly growing world population, humanity is heading towards a so-called “protein gap”. The coverage of animal-produced proteins will not be sufficient to adequately supply the world's population. Furthermore, the intensive use of animals has a massive impact on the environment and must be reduced. In addition to the transformation of the food industry towards plant-based protein...

Quantification of chlorinated paraffins and other organic contaminants in bee wax cloths used as food contact materials (FCM) (Project)
Chlorinated paraffins (CP) are alkane mixtures with varying chlorine content, legally classified as short-chain (SCCP), medium-chain (MCCP) and long-chain (LCCP) products. They are produced annually on a million-ton scale and are used as plasticizers, flame retardants, high-pressure lubricants and greasing agents, among other applications. Initial indications from China that beeswax may contain...

A toolbox for nut authentication (Project)
Nuts are valuable foods and support the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. However, the consumption of nuts poses a risk for consumers with allergies, and aflatoxins that are hazardous to health can form due to long storage times. Until now, analysis has therefore primarily focused on these aspects. Since some nuts can achieve high prices and annual fluctuations in harvest quantities occur,...

Improving the resilience of native tree species to climate change-induced stress by using of sulphur-induced resistance/tolerance (SiRT) - Subproject 3: Selection and classification of forest sites regarding the sulfur nutritional status of the trees (Project)
Near-natural commercial forest ecosystems are not only important producers of the renewable raw material "wood", but are also of great ecological importance. To enable their sustainable management even under the stressful conditions of global climate change, resilience to abiotic and biotic stressors is of central importance. Sulphur (S) plays a special role here as a macro-element. Numerous...

Strategies for more efficient oat breeding for organic farming (Project)
The chromosomal positions of selected resistance genes will be validated for the improvement of the durability of the resistance to smut (work package, WP1). For this purpose, suitable populations are genotyped and phenotyped for resistance. In the course of this work, lines with new resistance gene combinations are also being sought. In breeding practice, the question arises regarding the needed...
