Analysis of changes in the culture of information of the food and feed control authorities and the companies operating in the area on the enactment of the Consumer Information Act (VIG) 05/01/2008 (Project)

The findings of a comparative analysis of 93 Internet sites show, as a rule, that competent authorities at the federal and state level provide full information about rights and procedures. In contrast, there are a few good examples, but a lack of broad-based implementation at the regional and local level with regard to the Consumer Information Act remains. Legal provisions allow for the...

Evaluation of practical experiences with the Consumer Information Act (VIG) and drafting of concrete suggestions for legal changes (Project)

In practice, this law is especially criticized by several consumer protection organizations as being too complicated and too expensive. After conducting and evaluating the surveys within the framework of this study, this assessment cannot be sustained. By the deadline of this study 378 of the 487 compiled requests had been completely processed. In approximately half of the cases, access to...

Comparative transcriptomics reveals conserved components of gibberellin signalling between model and crop plants (Project)

The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) is a central regulator of plant growth and development. The modulation of GA biosynthesis or signalling is used in plant breeding to control agronomic traits, predominantly for the control of plant height. It is however understood that GA also controls many other aspects of plant growth. How the individual responses are regulated downstream from GA is unclear....

Analysis of SLM-dependent signal transduction mediating floral organ shape in Arabidopsis thaliana (Project)

Ovules are of agronomic interest as they develop into seeds, a major food source for humans. Tissue morphogenesis in ovules is poorly understood but in Arabidopsis it is known to depend on intercellular signaling mediated by the cell surface receptor kinase STRUBBELIG. We have identified two novel genes with a function in the STRUBBELIG pathway. ZERZAUST encodes a predicted β-1,3 glucanase, known...

Comparative analysis of defensins/defensin-like proteins during reproduction and pathogen defense in maize (Project)

Gamete interaction during double fertilization is essential for reproductive success and thereby crop yield. Cell surface proteins essential for gamete interaction and fertilization success will be identified and studied in this project. The role of identified candidate genes will be analyzed during the double fertilization process and their interaction partners will be identified. Subcellular...

Gamete interaction and fusion during double fertilization (Project)

We aim to understand the (dual) role of polymorphic defensins and defensin-like proteins (DEFLs) for reproductive success and pathogen defense. Using a comparative approach, we will identify and analyze molecular signaling mechanisms induced by various DEFL subclasses in the maize silk and ovule, which are simultaneously invaded both by pollen tubes and fungal hyphae. The physiological activity...
