Evaluation of allergic components in wheat genotypes with real time PCR and identification of allelic diversity and effects on the response to pathogens (Project)

Allergies are frequently caused by plant derived food. This research project aims at reducing allergic components in plants by breeding and biotechnological methods. Allergens are in general proteins and are present in many commercially important crop plants. By sequence analyses it is possible to divide these proteins into a few supergene families. However, for breeding purposes it is meaningful...

Investigations regarding influence of drought stress on valuable and antinutritive ingredients of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) (Project)

Rapeseed is the most important oil-producing plant in Europe and the second most important world wide after soy bean. Predicted climate change in Northern Germany such as extended drought in summer term can alter yield and quality. The aim of this examination is to get data about the influence of drought stress on nutritive and antinutritive substances of rapeseed for several years. Competitive...

A molecular-biological analysis of the European race spectrum of the Downy mildew of peas (Peronospora viciae f. sp. pisi) (Project)

Downy mildew of peas has developed into an economically relevant risk factor for the production of peas in Europe in the last years. The differentation of this obligate-biotrophic fungus in races poses a great challenge for breeding. Eight races are described in older publications but it is assumed that more races are existing. Newer investigations of the current European race spectrum don’t...

Use of biotechnological methods for the production of interspecific somatic hybrids between wild species of the genus Solanum of the series Etuberosa and Pinnatisecta and the cultivated potato for the analysis of novel glykoalkaloids. Subproject: Chemica (Project)

The wild potato species of Solanum are a valuable genetic resource for broadening the genetic diversity of cultivated potato. The aim of the project is to investigate biosythesis of novel glykoalkaloids (GAs) between S. tuberosum and wild Solanum species. These compounds are interesting in terms of their pharmaceutical activity, influence on human health, and plant protection. Through...

Investigations on resting and climbing platforms for dairy goats (Project)

Recommendations on the design and structure of housings for goats are missing. Nothing is known about the requirements of the lying area in particular with respect to softness and plasticity. In this study dairy goats were offered resting platforms equipped with different floorings (straw and wood). The platforms were installed at different heights in order to offer climbing opportunities as well...
