Diagnosis of virus diseases within certificatioin of pome fruit and development of strategies for maintaining the health status of certified basic material and rootstocks (Project)

The four in Germany still existing tree fruit basic material propation gardens and the certified rootstock producing nurseries will be supported to have the ability for producing 'vf' certified material. All scientific goals of the project on investigation of the apple viruses ASPV, ASGV, ACLSV and the unknown rubbery wood pathogen derive from the recommendations of the BMELV status workshop from...

Release of bioactive peptides from milk protein by proteolytic enzymes of lactis acid bacteria (Project)

So far, systematic investigations are lacking, which which describe the potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to release bioactive peptides. This gap shall be closed by this project by screening for approriate LAB. Strains obtained shall be applied for production of bioactive peptides in dairy products by two approaches: 1. directly by fermentation, or 2. by application of isolated enzymes and...

Allele search for resistance genes from wild barley using a 'nested association' (NAM)-mapping population (IZN project - Interdisciplinary Center for Crop Research) (Project)

The nested association mapping (NAM) design was recently implemented by Yu et al. (2008) and McMullen et al. (2009) in order to tap into the wealth of genetic diversity which is available for modern elite varieties. The NAM design applies a structured multi-family association mapping approach to localize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating the expression of a Pillen, Ordon, Schweizer:...

Defining the role of a low affinity cation transporter in salt and drought tolerance of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Project)

Cation transport processes across membranes are a major element of plant abiotic stress tolerance. Tolerance to salt stress strongly depends on the plant’s ability to prevent entry of Na+ into the cell, as well as to exclude and/or compartmentalise the ion. In addition, all stresses evoke specific elevations of cytosolic free calcium (cyt) through the activation of Ca2+ channels. These cyt...

Identification of QTL (quantitative trait loci) for drought stress-induced senescence in wild barley introgression lines and elite barley (IZN project - Interdisciplinary Center for Crop Research) (Project)

Leaf senescence is the last step in leaf development and is characterized by degradation processes. At the onset of leaf senescence photosynthesis is down regulated and valuable resources are recycled for re-use in other parts of the plant. This process can be induced by internal factors like age and phytohormones, but also by external stress conditions, e.g. drought stress. Stress-induced leaf...

Polyamines and drought tolerance: Cross-talk of polyamine and calcium signalling in stress tolerance of barley (Project)

Drought is a major limitation for crop yield, and drought-tolerant crop cultivars are a world-wide requirement. Polyamines were shown to improve tolerance and recovery from drought, and recent results place spermine at a prime position for this effect. This project aims at investigating spermine formation and action in the crop Hordeum vulgare, distinguishing spermine from the positional isomer...
