Collaborative project: Development of a software tool for the evaluation, planning and evidence of different housing strategies on the improvement of wellbeing of dairy cows - subproject 2 (Project)
...Together with the project partner a planning tool shall be developed that considers the knowledge about housing influences on the wellbeing of dairy cows and the results of completing empirical investigations to a computer software. Project phase 1: Outgoing from a critical comparison and evaluation of variants a model for assessing the wellbeing-status (wellness-index) of dairy cows shall be created. The basis shall be results of robust and solid working sensors under practical conditions. Phase 2: This wellness-index shall be evaluated and optimized by empirical investigations at the research dairy “Frankenforst” (Bonn University). Evaluation criteria are not subjective observations but accepted physiological measuring methods (e. g. HRV, activity pattern) Phase 3: At the end of this phase a prototype of a software-tool is available which shall be used in a long term perspective for barn planning and advising services by the company GEA Farm Technologies....

Investigation of animal welfare-environment-interaction of dairy cows. Subproject 2 (Project)
...In a first step work packages AP 0 to AP3 are preconnected. During this period (01.01.2020 - 31.03.2021), planning, construction and commissioning of the new TUI research barn will take place by the Chamber of Agriculture of North Rhine-Westphalia. When planning and constructing the experimental barn, all structural requirements necessary for the issues specific for the research should be taken into account. At the beginning (AP 1) and at the end of the first research project (AP 5), expert discussions are planned in order to be able to discuss issues and research questions. ...The interactions of the floor with animal behavior will be evaluated and discussed and published as part of an expert workshop (AP 7 and AP 8)....

Identification of fire blight resistant donors of genetic resources of Malus wild spec. with different resistance mechanisms to Erwinia amylovora (Project)
...The deletion of the avrRPT2Ea effector gene of the isolate Ea1189 was able to break the resistance of M. ...Therefore, the 4 fire blight resistant Malus wild species will be artificially inoculated in the glasshouse with other effector mutants of E. amylovora to identify resistance donors for further breeding (1). ...Furthermore, the migration of E. amylovora through grafted resistant wild species accessions into the rootstock shall be investigated. ...

SP 5: Effects of irrigation water quality and soil type on the soil and plant associated microbiome, abundance, diversity and transferability of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria (Project)
...The mobilization of ARGs to InCP-1 plasmids due to selection by antibiotics and disinfectants added with wastewater and released from soil will be tested in a satellite experiment, in which the soil bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi BD413 carrying IncP-1 plasmids without antibiotic resistance genes will be applied to the differently treated soils, re-isolated after 28 days and screened for acquired ARGs by IncP-1 plasmids. ...By linking its results and expertise to the data and knowledge of the other SPs of the RU also by means of the integrated mathematical model (SP 7), SP 5 contributes to a mechanistic understanding of interactions between pollutants, antibiotic resistance and pathogens in changing wastewater irrigation systems....

Effects of transgenic Bt corn varieties with resistance to multiple herbivores honey bees (Project)
...The aim of the project was to investigate the potential effects of the genetically modified Bt maize cultivar MON89034xMON88017 on honeybees. This maize produces three Bt proteins, making it resistant to both the European corn borer and the Western corn rootworm....

ForestValue: Innovative forestry strategies towards a resilient bioecononomy (Project)
...The main aim of our project is to improve the scientific basis for developing management strategies that increase resilience of the bioeconomy to future natural disturbances and climate change, while also maintaining a high level of wood production, carbon storage, and habitat quality for biodiversity (Fig. 1). To reach this aim, the project will deliver on the following objectives: - review knowledge on forest disturbances and forest resilience to synthesize and improve evidence on resistance to disturbances and recovery processes; develop an updated disturbance database (Schelhaas et al. 2003b) to produce forest disturbance scenarios over Europe; - simulate the impacts of disturbances, management and climate change scenarios on wood production, carbon storage, and biodiversity conservation (resilience, provisioning) at different scales (stand, landscape and the European temperate forest zone); - improve biodiversity assessment in forest dynamics models by defining biodiversity linker functions (i.e. any algorithm or indicator that allows assessing an ecosystem service from forest dynamics model outputs; Blattert et al. 2017) at the landscape scale that integrate disturbance effects; - assess the influence of structural complexity on ecosystem services and the value of complexity-based management strategies; - synthesize evidence-based recommendations for enhancing resilience through adaptive management strategies targeting practice and policy decision makers. Using forest simulation models integrating disturbance, management and climate change, I-Maestro will address the following hypotheses: 1- forest management influences recovery processes after disturbance with high impacts on wood production and other ecosystem services; 2- enhancing structural complexity at the stand scale leads to higher resilience of ecosystem services by favouring processes related to growth reactivity (e.g. advance regeneration, response diversity of species); 3- structural complexity...

Intergeneric transfer of chemically and ecologically mediated resistance against pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus) in oilseed rape - subproject 1 (Project)
...As a follow-up the project CHEMOEKOTRANS will be starting with the introgression of of RGK resistance and will develop the preconditions for a successful transfer between S. alba or E. sativa and rapeseed. In subproject 1 (Intergeneric Transfer) crosses between S. alba/ E. sativa and B. napus will be made, which will be supported by embryo rescue means and GISH to highlight the introgressed genome. Mapping populations will be generated to allow genetic studies of RGK resistance, marker development and to support the identification of its metabolic basis. In subproject 2 (Chemically/ ecologically mediated resistance) phenotyping of the metabolome and feeding resistance in plant material from subproject 1 will be realized to reveal the causal basis of RGK resistance and deliver different types of markers (molecular, biochemical). ...
