Characterisation and Use of Bacterial Quorum Sensing Molecules for the Development of Environmentally Sound Plant Production Measures (Project)

The activation and strengthening of the plant's immune system is a promising alternative in crop protection. The concept includes a sensitization (priming) of the crops against pathogens, which ensures a high crop yield under high pressure from pathogens. Bacterial quorum sensing molecules have the ability to improve plant growth and development and therefore provide a possible complement to the...

SFB 564: A1.1 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia (Project)

Research in this project area is directed at the process of cooperation between researchers, farmers and local institutions (A1) and between researchers of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds (A2). Subproject A1 aims at evaluating the concept of integrating farmers into the research process. In this phase of the SFB the subproject intends to assess the potential and limits of...

SFB 564: A1.2 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia (Project)

In this overreaching subproject potentials and limits of participatory research approaches shall be investigated. Institutional prerequisites that are appropriate to integrate local stakeholders (female and male farmers, extension services, state agencies and NGOs) into the research process will be developed and tested. Research will focus on the questions, which form and intensity of...

Plasticizing substances from food packaged in glass containers with metal lids - analytics and exposition (Project)

To tighten the metallic lids against the glass jars sealing gaskets are used. The gasket consist of a polymer and contains plasticizers like ESBO or phthalates. This substances can migrate from the gasket into the packed food. However, just a few data are available for an exposure estimation of the migrated plasticizers. This project has the objective to estimate the exposure to plasticizing...

Investigations in the domestication potential of Cuphea as a source of vegetable oil containing medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) (Project)

The Mesoamerican genus Cuphea belongs to the Lythraceae, species of which have not yet been established as agricultural crops in European agriculture. Cuphea species are of interest because of the high contents of saturated medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) in the seed oil. The current sources of MCFA are the lauric oils extracted from coconut and palm kernel. The industrial input of MCFA oils in...

Investigation of the biodiversity in Malus and Prunus using molecular markers (Project)

The project is aimed at the evaluation of biodiversity in the Malus and Prunus cultivar collection of the Fruit Gene Bank Dresden-Pillnitz using molecular marker analyses. In cooperation with the working groups of Malus/ Pyrus and Prunus of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) SSR-markers, methods and reference genotypes recommended by these working groups will...

Development of resistance screening methods in the host /pathogen combination corn salad/ Acidovorax valerianellae nv. (Project)

The objective of our work is the extraction, identification and characterisation of A. valerianellae isolates from corn salad plants with leaf spots. During the occurring of bacterial diseases in vegetables, methods for qualitative and quantitative detection of pathogens are used. Furthermore methods for resistance screening should be developed.

Broadening of genetic variability for resistance improvement of vegetable crops in Brassica oleracea by means of chromosome addition (Project)

The project shall open pathways to enhance the genetic variation in vegetable crops of Brassica oleracea. This concerns resistance characters to parasitic nematodes, fungi and viruses. For this purpose, radish (Raphanus sativus) as genetic resource with its known high resistance potential will be exploited. Addition lines of single radish chromosomes in cabbage will be developed. This will be...
