Reduce dangerous alkaloids in the food chain through the improvement of breeding resistance ergot of rye (Project)

...Aims of this study were (1) to evaluate genetic resources for effective resistance donors, (2) to examine the, inheritance of resistance in self-fertile rye material and (3) to analyse the interaction of host genotypes and ergot concerning the composition and toxicity of alkaloids. ...Generally, all experiments suffered from high genotype x environment and error variances resulting in medium heritabilities only. The correlation between the ergot weight per ear of lines and singles was significant in the -two first years only (r=0.6-0.7;p=0.01). Although the lines had a lower mean ergot weight per ear than the singles, their alkaloid content was about 25 % higher. ...

Sex determination in pigs by CRISPR/Cas (Project)

...Therefore, a SRY-specific CRISPR/Cas expression vector will be transfected into male porcine fibroblasts and the mutation rate will be detected by using a T7En1 assay. Genetically modified fibroblasts will subsequently be used as donor cells in somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce cloned offspring and to determine the ratio of the sexes. ...This vector will carry a spermatogenesis-specific promoter driving the expression of Cas9. This approach is aiming at generating a complete destruction of the Y-chromosome during spermatogenesis to let only X-chromosomal sperm to develop. ...

Safety of L-Carnitin as a dietary supplement using a multi-platform metabolomics approach (Project)

...Using targeted as well as untargeted methods (GC×GC-MS und LC-MS), a broad spectrum of endogenous compounds as well as L-carnitine metabolites will be detected in order to establish a firm basis for safety evaluation. [1] Empl MT et al., The influence of chronic L-carnitine supplementation on the formation of preneoplastic and atherosclerotic lesions in the colon and aorta of male F344 rats. ...In a previous toxicity study performed by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, rats were supplemented with up to 0.5 g/L L-carnitine in the drinking water for the duration of one year. ...A very strong and dose-dependent change was observed for one important metabolite of L-carnitine, namely trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO): a tenfold higher TMAO level on average was observed in the high-dose group compared to the control group (2.5 µmol/L vs. 25.0 µmol/L). ...

Integration of expression and genome-wide association analysis in populations of commercial crossing races for mapping of QTL regions with enhanced resolution and functional analysis of candidate genes for water-binding capacity (Project)

...We have identified a number of cis and trans eQTL that coincide with those of the QTL for drip loss (DRIP) identified in a F2 pig population. In order to refine these results additional selected F2 animals with maximized genetic and phenotypic dissimilarity will be used for expression profiling and genotyping. ...Here, a whole genome association study for the muscle gene expression profiles of the commercial herd Pietrain x (German Landrace x German Large White) (Pix(DLxDE)) will be studied and the results obtained in this population will be compared with previously linkage studies in the F2 resource population. ...

Elaboration of a report concerning the infestation situation and control of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilialis) and the Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) in Europe and particularly in Germany (Project)

...Because a systematic monitoring on European corn borer does not exist, the infestation level either assessed or estimated was documented using five infestation intensity groups (0: no occurrence, X: low infestation - 50% infested steams). ...The area of chemical and biological control was estimated at slightly more than 40,000ha (2% of maize growing area) and 27,000ha, respectively, in 2013. ...The Western corn root worm borer was determined in 34 counties (7% of all counties) by 2013. While chemical control measures were performed on 2,432ha in the year 2009, two years after the first record of pest in Germany, the insecticide use reduced to 192ha und even only 9ha in the years 2012 and 2013, respectively. ...
