Development of pest control strategies against the Asian longhorned beetle (Project)
Due to increasing freight transports from the Southeast Asian region the quarantine pest Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) was introduced to Europe within wooden package materials (WPM). Until now its local restricted spread is characterized by the infestation of healthy deciduous trees dying slowly due to the effects of this attack. As a consequence rotten branches and loose...

Innovative concept for the production of apple free of pesticide residues (Project)
In integrated production fruits are treated among others with fungicides in order to avoid yield and quality losses pre- and postharvest. The treatments are terminated prior to harvest so that the chemicals can be degraded or metabolized in time. However, residues below legally accepted limits may be detected. This hampers marketing, since freedom of residues is demanded at present. In this...

Adaption strategies for public services in large-scale rural municipalities (Project)
For the creation of comparable living conditions in rural areas in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) the need-based supply of accommodations of services for the public is of particular importance and furthermore one of the essential defiance for the future. It is all about the areas accumulation, health care, accommodation with convenience goods and as well as the assurance of mobility. Besides,...

Biological control of pests using beneficial organisms in organic potted herb production (Project)
Pests are a key factor in the organic production of potted herbs and can lead to dramatic yield losses and reduced quality of the herbs. Control of pests becomes necessary even under very low infestations to meet the high quality standards of the consumer and the market of potted herbs. The only management strategy is the biological control of pest organisms, because chemical control would not be...

Seed and social system - Food security in rural development areas on the example of the Ruvuma region in Tanzania and the Oshana region in Namibia (Project)
The research project analyses the social-cultural dimension of local seed sytems in smallholder areas of Tanzania und Namibia. Which role can local seed systems play in combating Hunger and Food Insecurity? What is the potential of smallholder agriculture?

Comparative transcriptomics reveals conserved components of gibberellin signalling between model and crop plants (Project)
The phytohormone gibberellin (GA) is a central regulator of plant growth and development. The modulation of GA biosynthesis or signalling is used in plant breeding to control agronomic traits, predominantly for the control of plant height. It is however understood that GA also controls many other aspects of plant growth. How the individual responses are regulated downstream from GA is unclear....

Analysis of SLM-dependent signal transduction mediating floral organ shape in Arabidopsis thaliana (Project)
Ovules are of agronomic interest as they develop into seeds, a major food source for humans. Tissue morphogenesis in ovules is poorly understood but in Arabidopsis it is known to depend on intercellular signaling mediated by the cell surface receptor kinase STRUBBELIG. We have identified two novel genes with a function in the STRUBBELIG pathway. ZERZAUST encodes a predicted β-1,3 glucanase, known...

Comparative analysis of defensins/defensin-like proteins during reproduction and pathogen defense in maize (Project)
Gamete interaction during double fertilization is essential for reproductive success and thereby crop yield. Cell surface proteins essential for gamete interaction and fertilization success will be identified and studied in this project. The role of identified candidate genes will be analyzed during the double fertilization process and their interaction partners will be identified. Subcellular...

Gamete interaction and fusion during double fertilization (Project)
We aim to understand the (dual) role of polymorphic defensins and defensin-like proteins (DEFLs) for reproductive success and pathogen defense. Using a comparative approach, we will identify and analyze molecular signaling mechanisms induced by various DEFL subclasses in the maize silk and ovule, which are simultaneously invaded both by pollen tubes and fungal hyphae. The physiological activity...
