Process for energy and fertilzer production from waste water and waste from palm oil industry: Exemplary evaluation of the sustainability of a renewable resource (Project)

High amounts of waste water and solid waste (empty fruit bunch) from palm oil mills pollute the environment, especially by the green house gas methane from the waste water ponds. In the frame of the German-Indonesian cooperation in the field of biotechnology a new process for the utilisation of the waste water (biogas, energy) and the empty fruit bunch (compost) was developed. In the BMBF project...

Analysis of virulence and selection of resistant genotypes against bacterial diseases to ensure sustainable fruit production (Project)

The aim of the project is to ensure a sustainable fruit production by using host plant resistance against bacterial diseases which cannot be controlled by chemicals. Cultivars and breeding lines with resistance to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) are selected each year. For this purpose isolates of E. amylovora from different geographical regions are collected each year and tested for their...

Investigation and assessment of emissions from livestock (dust, ammonia, trace gases, odorants and noise). Technical processes for emission reduction as well as recycling of resources, detection of emission factors (Project)

Gases, dust and microorganisms in and from animal husbandry are connected with various effects on health and welfare of men and animal. Furthermore emissions of airborne contaminants including noise play an important role for the authorization of stable with respect to environmental hygiene. Some of these components are part of longe range szenarios of air pollution control and must be reported...

Utilization and application of resistances of not adapted PGR for potato breeding by use of biotechnological methods. (Project)

Wild potato species are a valuable genetic resource for broadening the genetic diversity of cultivated potato. Therefore gene bank accessions of wild species with sexual incompatibility to cultivated potato which are not utilized in potato breeding are interesting. Accessions with high level of resistance to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, resistance to PVY and PLRV, aphids, and...

Yield stability and quality management of agricultural crops (Project)

Estimating the yield potential of cultivated plants under changed climatic conditions is important for yield forecasting and as ?crises precaution?. Physiological plant characteristics are studied e.g. via non-destructive measuring of canopy surface temperature and plant water status based on optoelectronic methods. An important working tool forms a new rain shelter facility which was put into...

Production and characterization of novel interspecific hybrids between Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum for transfer of valuable traits (Project)

The breeding of high-yielding elite cultivars has narrowed the genetic diversity in cultivated barley. This concerns genes for disease resistances. Hordeum bulbosum belongs to the secondary gene pool of the genus Hordeum L.. This wild species is of potential value for barley breeding. H. bulbosum is a source of novel genes for the improvement of barley by introgression. The wild species possesses...

EU network of excellence EvolTree (EVOLution of TREEs as drivers of terrestrial biodiversity) (Project)

Evoltree will implement genomic and molecular approaches to understand, monitor and predict genetic diversity, ecosystems structures, dynamics and processes in terrestrial ecosystems. The Evoltree Network of Excellence will first study the genetic diversity of trees, as dominant species and drivers of terrestrial biodiversity, and then expand its scope to diversity issues at the community level,...
