Development of molecular markers for breeding apple cultivars with durable scab and powdery mildew resistance (Project)

Molecular techniques are used to identify molecular markers for resistance genes in apple. Easy-to-use DNA markers such as SCAR markers are developed for 'strong' scab resistance genes, i.e. Vr from the 'Russian seedling' apple genotype as well as for powdery mildew resistance genes of different Malus species. Polygenic scab and mildew resistances of Malus wild species and old European apple...

Shelf and coastal systems: Investigations on fish assemblages in small defined areas in the North Sea to assess the anthropogenic influence on marine ecosystems (e.g. offshore windfarms). (Project)

Since 1987, a bottom fish survey has been carried out to monitor changes in fish assemblages in 12 small defined areas of 100nm² (boxes) distributed over the whole North Sea. At the same time, water temperature, salinity and additionally nutrients, sediment and benthic invertebrates were measured or sampled. This small-scale and simultaneous sampling of different variables allows the...

A fast method for recognition and documentation of growth heterogeneities in agriculture (Project)

The project focuses on the detection, documentation and interpretation of spatial field heterogeneities. Applied techniques are: Remote Sensing and GIS as well as various modelling approaches.

Sociological studies about organic farming (Project)

Organic farming claims for knowledge, professional skills and individual engagement. Most of these claims focus on environmental protection, animal welfare and sound food processing. The EU regulation 834/2007 decribe the goals of organic farming. Although it seems self-evident that organic farming is able to meet it`s self proclaimed standards and targets some research projects underscore...

Standardization of quality factors for agricultural biogas plants (Project)

Definition of minimum standards in order to achieve a better protection of the climate and environment. The results should be active in form of consumer protection, in order to reduce the pollution of the environment by the fast expansion of biogas plant applications.

Synergy of bioenergy plant cultivation and biodiversity (Project)

An efficient contribution to the improvement of the biological diversity should be made by specific mixed culture of cultural and wild plants in agriculture areas with possibility of utilisation of the yields for the bioenergy production. For this a mixture of population rye, corn cockle (Agrostemma githago) and wooly vetch (Vicia villosa) is checked for less fertile, sandy soils.

Trilateral Project: GrapeReSeq; Large scale re-sequencing in the Vitis genus for identification of resistance genes, SNP discovery and high throughput genotyping (Project)

Within the joined research project GrapeReSeq grape genomes are being resequenced to identify genes relevant for breeding. At JKI a genetic map of the rootstock cultivar and interspecific hybrid 'Börner' (being sequenced at Bielefeld University) will be improved. Based on a dense genetic map a physical map will be generated. In addition, the progeny ('Trollinger' x 'Riesling') x 'Börner' will be...
