Identification of genetic factors influencing replant disease in apple (Project)

...The aim of the 2nd phase of Ordiamur-project is to elucidate the genetic mechanisms for susceptibility and tolerance of apple plants to the Apple Replant Disease (ARD). ...Until date, only a few Malus genotypes have been described as tolerant to ARD and less in known about the genetic mechanisms underlying the tolerance of Malus genotypes to ARD. Within the project (1) the genetic map established in Phase I should be replenished and saturated by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) in order to create a high-resolution map for the mapping population M9 x M. × robusta 5. (2) Moreover, the phenotypic data of the mapping population from phase I should be ensured due to two further greenhouse experiments. ...The first system is a virus-induced silencing method; the second system is to be based on CRISPR/Cas9....

Reasons for culling sows - instrument to improve herd management (Project)

...The new recording system had 9 main chapters with about 90 single points. Besides the main reason farmers could use up to 3 sub-reasons. 46 pig-farms in North Rhine Westphalia with about 10.000 sows (average was 210 sows per farm) used a new code-system of culling reasons. Nearly 2.500 sows were recorded. On average 92 % were slaughtered, 6 % of them were found dead, 2 % were euthanized. The farms differed extremely from 0 to 17 % of mortality or euthanizing-rate. More than the half of the records had at least one sub-reason. ...

Calcium signals and associated genes (Project)

...We will identify candidate genes for upstream and downstream components of the Ca2+ signal (i.e. Ca2+ channels, transporters, and sensor proteins) by bioinformatics analysis supported by project B7 of the C. graminicola genome sequence traces. ...To identify individual Ca2+ signals in the C. graminicola infection process, the fungus has been transformed with the novel codon-optimized Ca2+ reporter protein aequorinS. Using luminometry and photon imaging, we will determine at what stages and in which cell types Ca2+ signals occur (e.g., spore germination, appressorium formation, switch from biotrophy to necrotrophy), as well as the kinetics of the Ca2+ transients. ...

Use of mobile CRISPR/Cas9 transcripts to produce transgene free mutants in one generation by grafting (Project)

...Use of CRISPR/Cas9 is based on the production of transgenic plants expressing a sequence specific guide RNA (gRNA) and the Cas9 nuclease, which obviously does not meet the standards of having stable plant lines that are used in agriculture. ...In grafted plants mobile CRISPR gRNA and Cas9 transcripts can introduce targeted mutations in the wild-type scion plant parts forming flowers. ...By using this approach - mobile CRIS/Ccas9 transcripts combined with grafting - we can produce transgene free mutants within one generation. ...

Genomics-based exploitation of wheat genetic resources for plant breeding (Project)

...The overall goal of GeneBank2.0 is to leverage the wheat ex-situ collection hosted at the IPK Gatersleben to an actively deployed one in plant breeding by applying an integrated concept encompassing cutting-edge genomics, phenomics, biodiversity informatics, and precision (pre)breeding. The goal is to characterize the winter wheat ex-situ collection (ca. 9,700 accessions) of the IPK Gatersleben to identify novel resistances which are not present in wheat elite cultivars. ...

Molecular mechanisms of furan-mediated liver toxicity (Project)

...Direct genotoxicity is presumably due to the oxidation of furan to the mutagenic substance cis-2-butene-1,4-dial mediated by the liver enzyme Cyp2E1. However, additional cytotoxic, Cyp2E1-independent effects of furan are discussed, the mechanisms of which are largely unknown so far. ...The study focuses on the identification of Cyp2E1-independent signalling and metabolic pathways addressed by furan. ...

Determination of 2-and 3-MCPD-fatty acids esters in human milk (Project)

...Free 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) has been known as a contaminant for a long time in various foods like liquid seasoning or bakery goods. ...Since the fat component of infant formula is based on the use of refined vegetable oil, the exposure of formula-fed infants is notably high (median concentration can lead to a 7.7-fold exceeding of the TDI, assuming that esters are fully hydrolyzed) [1]. Considerable amounts of 3-MCPD-esters in human milk have been detected by Zélinková et al. in 2008 [2]. Considering the average 3-MCPD content of 35.5 µg/kg milk, the daily intake of 3-MCPD of an exclusively breast-fed baby is 2.8 times higher than that corresponding to TDI. ...
