Burial of organic matter for carbon sequestration: Potentials, processes and long-term effects (Project)
...An increased carbon sequestration in soils is acknowledged as climate mitigation measure to reduce atmospheric CO2. Until now, research and praxis have focused on reduced and no-tillage even though their effects on soil carbon stocks of soils are marginal. ...In a paired plot approach soil carbon stocks are quantified down to 150 cm depth. 2) to investigate the underlying mechanisms and processes of long-term stabilisation and storage of buried carbon. ...Nuclear bomb tests during the 1960s doubled the atmospheric 14C concentration which can be used as tracer for the freshly buried carbon at the deep plough trials. ...

FOR 948 P4: Nitrogen deficiency and senescence in Arabidopsis and oilseed rape: Transcriptome response and the role of peptide transporters (Project)
...Towards this goal, we will follow two approaches: 1) A comparative transcriptome analysis at different stages of nitrogen deficiency-induced and developmental senescence is performed with Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus leaves. The results will serve as a common platform for all members of the Research Unit. 2) A T-DNA insertion mutant analysis in Arabidopsis aims to unravel the role of peptide/nitrogen transport in nitrogen reallocation via peptide transporter PTR/NRT1 family proteins during nitrogen deficiency-induced and developmental senescence. ...

Rhizo-bacteria-supported optimization of lentil cultivation with consideration of bioeconomic added value (Project)
...The planned project is divided into 3 phases: 1) Isolation & testing of the rhizobia and bacteria species in vascular experiments, selection of the bacterial mixtures with a clear positive effect on the growth of the lens, 2) testing of the mixtures selected in phase 1 in exact experiments in the field at different locations; events for interested practitioners at the experimental sites, 3) formulation of the inoculant, which consists of the bacterial strains that have shown the best effect on the plant growth of the lens....

Collaborative project: Potential of algae-based biolubricant additives: extraction, application and technical properties - from the plant to the technical product, subproject P4 (HSW): Performance testing in metal forming (Project)
...The opportunities of this approach are (1) mineral oil-reduced lubricant application, (2) significant resource conservation, and (3) avoidance of the food or fuel conflict. Subproject P4 "Performance testing in metal forming" will be carried out parallel to the subproject P1 "Performance testing in the machining". The technical requirements and the performance of the additives to be developed will be identified, evaluated and described in two steps. ...

Climate change-induced yield changes and land use (Project)
...In its letter dated January 5, 2020, the BMEL Division 423 asks the Thünen Institute (TI), the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) and, for information purposes, the German Meteorological Service (DWD) and the Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) to answer the following questions: 1. how are agricultural yields expected to change in Germany for the most important main crop types and forage areas for selected climate scenarios until 2050 (taking into account average changes as well as extreme weather events including hail, storms and thunderstorms)? 2. if the results for question 1 would show significant yield declines, what are the adaptation options for the agricultural industry and agricultural policy? ...

University Hospital Halle (Saale) (Institution)
...The University Hospital in Halle (Saale) has been a public-law institution since 1 January 2006 and unites the university’s state-of-the-art medical care institutions. ...Patients come from far beyond the city’s borders for treatment by the hospital’s 2,850 employees and 210 trainees. Each year, around 38,000 patients are treated on an inpatient basis in the hospital’s 1,100 beds, and 400,000 patients are treated on an outpatient basis. ...

Blueberries in winter, quinoa for lunch, and Fairtrade coffee – Global food trends and implications for smallholder farmers (Project)
...Different methodological approaches and data sources are used for three interlinked work packages (WP). WP 1 is aimed at drawing generalizable conclusions on whether smallholders benefit from sustainability certification. ...However, indirect effects of the quinoa boom (e.g. reallocation of household resources), which may have increased or decreased households’ vulnerability in the longer run, are poorly understood. ...Based on nationally representative household data from Peru (i.e. the ENAHO data set) we will explore direct and indirect effects during and after the quinoa boom. ...

SPP 1315: Impact of pesticides and oxygen on microbial cellulose degradation in aerated agricultural soils: A microscaled analysis of processes and prokaryotic populations (Project)
...Cellulose is one of the most abundant carbonaceous compounds in terrestrial ecosystems, and its mineralization in agricultural soils contributes significantly to the global CO2 budget. Pesticides may affect the activities (e.g. beta-glucosidase) of soil microbes; however, their potential effect on the degradation of cellulose has not been resolved. ...

Structure-activity relationship of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (Project)
...They are also found in Senecio vulgaris L. PA are toxic to humans and animals. Acute PA poisoning via food contamination causes severe damage to the liver; long-term, sub-lethal doses may cause cumulative damage or cancer. ...First, the structure dependent transport of PA over the gastrointestinal barrier shall be analysed by using the Caco-2 cell model. In contrast to cyclic PA the non-cyclic PA heliotrine and echimidine show a MDR1-dependent transport. ...In contrast, the 3D cultivation of HepG2 cells proved to be an unsuitable in vitro hepatocyte model. ...
