Aquired environmental epigenetics advances: from arabidopsis to maize (AENEAS) (Project)
This proposal, entitled Acquired Environmental Epigenetics Advances: from Arabidopsis to maize (acronym: AENEAS), aims to assess the impact of environmental conditions on epigenetic states in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and then transfer knowledge to maize (Zea mays): an important European crop. Advances in understanding the detailed mechanisms of epialleles formation in response to...

Integrated European Network for biomass and waste reutilisation for Bioproducts (AQUATERRE) (Project)
AquaTerrE will promote the cooperation between research centres, business and other stakeholders in Europe devoted to the research, development and application of biomass and biofuel production and valorisation. It will aim integration and unification of efforts and the exchange of knowledge and expertise between partners, to promote the creation of a network for improving biomass and waste...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BIOBIO) (Project)
Organic and low-input farming systems provide habitat for wildlife. Prominent examples include the Black Vulture in the Spanish Dehesas or orchids in extensively managed mountain grassland. These farming systems also make use of old breeds, such as Welsh Black Cattle. Thus, they contribute significantly to the maintenance of biodiversity in Europe. The objective of the research project BioBio...

E-Bas - Electronic Consulting Assistant: Development and implementation of a management system for cereal production, Sub-project 2 (Project)
The new mobile and plot specific management system (e-BAs) to support the integrated crop production of winter wheat was developed. It is based on Decision Support Systems (DSS) developed by ZEPP and provides additionally recommendations and plant disease assessments on a regional level given by the public crop protection services of the federal states of Germany. The MS is based on a...

European initiative for a better use of the results of agri-food research (AGRIFOODRESULTS) (Project)
AgriFoodResults intends to answer the need for a better dissemination of food results. The vision is to improve the cost effectiveness of agri-food research activities by enhancing the transfer of the results to the end-users. The project combines capacity building with the creation of sustainable services for dissemination managers. Theses services include web-sites, innovative approach to...

Novel high-performance enzymes and micro-organisms for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol (NEMO) (Project)
The NEMO project provides novel efficient enzymes and microbes for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It generates through metabolic engineering and mutagenesis & screening approaches robust yeast strains that have a broad substrate range and can (co-)ferment C6 and C5 sugars to ethanol with high productivity (rate and yield), and that are significantly more stress tolerant, i.e. inhibitor,...

Metagenomics for bioexploration - tools and application (METAEXPLORE) (Project)
This proposal will (further) develop and apply metagenomics tools to access the enzymatic potential borne in the cryptic biota of selected natural habitats, in particular target soil-related and aquatic ones. In the light of the environmental relevance of chitins and lignins (as natural compounds recalcitrant to degradation) and halogenated aliphatic and aromatic compounds (anthropogenic...

Environment indicators in agriculture concerning air quality and climate (Project)
With the help of so-called emission factors, as they are mentioned in the administrative regulation of the Technical Instructions on Air Quality (TA Luft) not only different production processes of animal husbandry can be compared with each other but also be used as starting parameters of national models of air pollution prevention. Measurements of emission require a very critical discussion...

Collaborative project: Development of efficient high throughput (HT) techniques for selection of grapevine cultivars with high acid stabilty, 1: Development of markers for acid content for MAS in crossbreeding of Vitis vinifera - subproject 2 (Project)
Climate change will cause major changes to viticulture in future decades, as many traditional varieties show best performance in the cool German climate. The correspondingly high organic acid production is an important factor for quality in wine production. Molecular markers linked with quality parameters would enable early selection in breeding, largely independent of environmental factors....
