Analysis of the migration of elastomers from food contact materials (Project)
...Elastomers are used for the production of a number of food contact materials. Art. 3 Paragraph 1 of the Framework Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 (L338/4) states that food contact materials shall be safe and that they shall not transfer their components into the food in quantities that could endanger human health. ...

Investigation of interactive effects of water supply and elevated CO2 on winter barley genotypes (Project)
...Plant growth and yield of C3 crops are known to be positively affected by elevated CO2. It is also known that intraspecific variability in the response to CO2 exists among genotypes, however, it is unclear how drought can modify the genetic variability in the responses of crop species to elevated CO2. ...However, there is considerable genotypic variability in the response to elevated CO2, but no information exist of the genetic variability of the mitigating effect of CO2 on drought stress. ...

Department Fertilization and Soil Matter Dynamics (340i) (Institution)
...Research activities can be subdivided into five main areas:(1) Basic research on crop nutrient acquisition. ...Aiming on high yields and top quality of agricultural products, this area covers the impact of fertilization on soil and environment (e.g. trace gases, leaching, humus balances) as well as the development and adaptation of innovative fertilization strategies in agricultural systems of different intensities (e.g. optimised basic fertilization (P & K), Cultan, nitrification inhibitors, fertilization scheduling, fertilization of renewable primary product crops and return of their residues into the soil)(3) Soil fertility management and fertilization in organic farming. ...The reduction of negative impacts of agricultural production is one of the key issues (e.g. trace gases relevant for the climate). Further issues are dealing with the adaptation of the agriculture to changing environmental conditions (e.g. impact on humus dynamics, adapted fertilization strategies)....

Investigations on the transfer of non-dioxin like PCBs from feed into meat and eggs of broilers and laying hens (Project)
...Against the background of current and previous events (see BfR statement 020/2012 of 9 May 2012), it therefore seems sensible and even necessary to carry out targeted transfer studies with defined ndl-PCB concentrations and known congener patterns in animal feed in order to better estimate their transfer into food (egg, meat), as well as their accumulation in organs and possible metabolism. ...Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) 2016: Safety evaluation of certain food additives and contaminants Supplement 1: Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls. WHO Food Additives Series: 71_S1 World Health Organization, Geneva, 2016, 431pp (*). *) ""Dioxins"" is a trivial name for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, PCDD/Fs....

Molecular Toxicity of conjugated linoleic acid isomers and branched chain fatty acids; The role of the nuclear receptor PPAR in colon carcinogenesis (Project)
...The investigation of potential cellular-toxic characteristics of trans fatty acids (TFAs) on the human colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 is the major intent in this project. The mechanisms of TFA in development of colorectal carcinoma ought to be analysed by modern cell- and molecular-biological methods. Regulatory biomarkers for TFA treatment in Caco-2 shall be identified by genomic approach. The used TFAs vary in chain length and number of double bonds. ...To answer this question following parameters shall be investigated:proliferation (characterized through measurement of cell rate and expression of the genesc-myc, c-jun and cyclin-D),differentiation (characterized through expression of the alkaline phosphatase and saccharase-isomaltase),cell adhesion (characterized through ß-catenin, E-cadherin und N-CAM) andapoptosis (characterized through FACS analysis with FITC-annexin-V, activity of caspases, DNA-fragmentation and expression of apoptose marker genes)....

Metabolic activation and inactivation of food carcinogens 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfuryl alcohol in humans, mice and rats (Project)
...In addition, FFA activation will be studied monitoring tissue distributions of macromolecular methylfuran adducts in transgenic mouse lines expressing human SULTs (1A1/1A2) and in knock-out lines lacking endogenous Sults (1a1 and 1d1). ...In all three species the bioactivation of HMF and FFA to reactive sulfate esters is mainly catalyzed by sulfotransferase (SULT)1A1. HMF sulfo conjugation and oxidative detoxification was studied in individual tissues (liver, kidney, lung and colon) of humans, mice and rats in vitro. ...The FFA-related DNA adduct N2-((furan-2-yl)methyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (N2-MFdG) was detected in DNA samples of different tissues. ...

Development of biological plant protection strategies against invasive non-regulated stink bug species with high damage potential (Project)
...At the core of this research will be monitoring of the newly invaded areas for natural enemies, e.g. egg parasitoids in the genus Trissolcus, of these two stink bugs, the assessment of their biological control potential, and the establishment of breeding strains of potential biological control agents. Various field entomological methods will be applied to monitor the stink bugs and their natural enemies (work package 1). Species, which are shortlisted as potentially effective antagonists, will be reared to build up strains meant for commercial use (work package 2). ...Based on the results obtained in work packages 1 through 3, pest management strategies for the control of these invasive stink bugs will be developed. ...
