Molecular, genetic and phenotypic analysis of an early-heading mutant in diploid einkorn wheat (Project)

In cereal breeding, optimal adaptation to a given environment and subsequently high yield potential is mainly determined by the time of flowering. Time to flowering, however, is commonly affected by a complex interplay between three determinants: photoperiodic and vernalization requirements as well as the intrinsic capability of a cultivar/genotype to flower. The intrinsic capability to flower...

Key factors influencing fate and activity of bacterial inoculants and their effect on the indigenous microbial community in the rhizosphere (Project)

The use of antagonistic bacteria could be an environmentally friendly altemative to protect plants from soil-borne pathogens if the rhizosphere competence and biocontrol efficiency of the antagonists would be more predictable. In this project, we aim to test the hypothesis that the soil type and plant species influence the rhizosphere competence and biocontrol efficiency of inoculant strains....

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)

Variability in meat quality traits like water holding capacity (WHC) is a major concern for producers and consumers. In the first phase of `DRIP´ we have already shown that many biological pathways including extracellular matrix receptor interaction, calcium signalling, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial pathways, actin cytoskeleton signalling, PDGF signalling, EGF signalling, ERK/MAPK...

Immobilisation of arsenic in paddy soil by iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria (Project)

Arsenic-contaminated ground- and drinking water is a global environmental problem with about 1-2% of the world’s population being affected. The upper drinking water limit for arsenic (10 μg/l) recommended by the WHO is often exceeded, even in industrial nations in Europe and the USA. Chronic intake of arsenic causes severe health problems like skin diseases (e.g. blackfoot disease) and cancer. In...

Identification of candidate genes responsible for preformed and inducible defence response in oaks against herbivorous insects (Project)

The defoliation of oaks is an urgent problem for forestry in Central Europe. During the last outbreak of the green oak leaf roller (Tortrix viridana) in 2003-2005, we observed fundamental differences in the defoliation level of individual Quercus robur trees in Germany. Some of the trees seem to be somehow “tolerant” (T oaks) against the insects grub while some seem to be conspicuously...
