Collaborative project: Sustainable maintenance of grain maize production by improving classical resistance against the European corn borer – Subproject 3 (Project)

Aim of the project was to implement resistance against the European Corn Borer (ECB; Ostrinia nubilalis Hb.) in maize. ECB is a major pest in maize and is advantaged in development and spreading over Europe by global warming. In this context resistance breeding is one of the most important strategies to reduce yield loss by ECB. The project focused on two main objectives: The genetic...

Collaborative project: Enhancing resistance of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) against the fungal parhogen Verticillium longisporum depending on climate change. Subproject 2 (Project)

The aim of this project was the improvement of the performance stability of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) by development of molecular markers to breed resistance against Verticilli-um longisporum, a dangerous fungal pathogen that could potentially become even more widespread as a consequence to climate change. The screen-ing of comprehensive amounts of breeding materials was performed by...

Collaborative project: Stabilizing the climate change affected rhizomania resistance in sugar beet by molecular identification of the resistance gene Rz2 and discovery of new resistance sources. Subproject 2 (Project)

The objectives of this project are (i) to fine map the rhizomania resistance gene Rz2, (ii) to conduct a map based cloning of Rz2, and (iii) to identify new sources of resistance to rhizomania. We will finemap Rz2 in a wildbeet (Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima) population segregating for rhizomania resistance. For that, 200 plants from this population will be propagated and tested for rhizomania...

Collaborative project: Identification of molecular markers for BYDV-resistance in maize – Subproject 2 (Project)

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is an economically important virus disease in cereals. With increasing winter temperatures, the impact of BYD on maize is expected to increase. The most effective method to control the BYD virus, which is transmitted by aphids, is to breed resistant maize varieties. The results of this study indicated that a BYDV infection had negative impacts on various plant...

Collaborative project: Development of an experimental station and evaluation of phenotyping strategies for the reliable screening of ornamental plant genotypes with respect to a combined drought- and insolation stress tolerance – Subproject 1 (Project)

As a consequence of the observed climate change, more extreme weather conditions have to be expected which includes prolonged drought periods and concomitant high insolation. The consequently rising demand for climate-adapted ornamental cultivars will by faced by Klemm & Sohn GmbH & Co KG in an innovative joint project together with the Jülich Research Center and the Geisenheim Research Center....

Collaborative project: Heat stress of maize - using new breeding methods to increase the tolerance – Subproject 2 (Project)

It is expected that climate change leads in Central Europe to an increase of the frequency as well as the intensity of heat waves. The aim of this project was to lay the scientific basis for the improvement of maize's heat tolerance by breeding. In a first step, a method has been developed that allows the quantification of heat tolerance in multiple environments in a multivariate context. A...

Reducing tail biting in finisher pigs: Distribution of a management tool through training courses and an intervention study (Project)

Tail biting is a frequent problem in finisher pigs. In order to solve the problem successfully, a procedure tailored to fit individual farms is needed, because tail biting can be influenced by a large number of factors. The aim of this project is, to introduce, evaluate and distribute a farm specific management tool for reducing tail biting on German finisher farms. In order to do this, a...
