SFB 670 TP1: The professional phagocyte Dictyostelium as a host model for pathogens (Project)

To be able to cope with potential pathogens most organisms have developed elaborate defense mechanisms. They often harbor specialized cells that have the ability to rapidly and efficiently internalize a variety of organisms and particles and degrade them. Macrophages, myeloid dendritic cells, neutrophils represent professional phagocytes that are important for innate and adaptive im-munity. We...

Collaborative project: Breeding of pear varieties resistant to Pear decline (BISO) – Subproject 1 (Project)

Pear decline which is a disease caused by Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri threatens commercial and private pear growing in Germany. In close cooperation with the private fruit breeding enterprise Bayerisches Obstzentrum, the institute of fruit science of Technische Universität München developed an easy to handle and robust system for the selection of resistance to pear decline. This system enables...

Collaborative project: Development and optimisation of an automatic hop picking machine – Subproject 1 (Project)

Based on the preliminary work of the private limited company Fuss, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture will design a digital prototype of a system for automatic hop picking. For this purpose a mechanism for cutting of the hop vines into pieces with defined length will be developed, providing undisturbed cutting of the bulk of hop vines without significant damaging of the cones. A...

Collaborative project: Nutraceuticals as enhancement for the immune system of flatfish – Subproject 1 (Project)

During the production of fish in recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS), an enrichment of pathogens and micro-organisms can occur due to low replacement rates of the recirculating water. This increases the risk of diseases outbreaks, which currently are treated by an application of potent antiparasiticals or antibiotics. These treatments often are long lasting, may be of limited success and bear...

Collaborative project: Development of a water saving ridge crone irrigation technique - subproject 1 (Project)

There are losses of water in irrigation systems. The project aims to develop and introduce a water saving technique for ridge growing systems. Crops like carrots are grown on ridge crones and are irrigated across the whole area during dry periods. The new system is using a time-delayed application of water to ridge crones only. Well-established nozzle equipment will be designed in a way that a...

Collaborative project: Forecast model for outbreaks of common voles (Microtus arvalis) - Subproject 1 (Project)

Population outbreaks of common voles can result in extreme damage to agriculture and forestry. The aim of this project was to develop a predictive model for the population dynamics of common voles to be integrated in a decision support system for farmers by providing information about the probability of common vole outbreaks in the near future. Existing datasets on population dynamics in common...

Collaborative project: Development of physical and chemical methods to repel voles – Subproject 1 (Project)

Common voles can cause enormous damage on plants, this problem is wide spread and difficult to resolve in horticulture and agriculture. In an research cooperation of the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI), the company Neudorff and the Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology of the university Heidelberg a new integrated plant protection method should be developed up to be ready for practical...
