Optimizing the quality in French fries production (Project)
The aim of the OptiPom project is to obtain the necessary crop production data for well-founded advice. For this we want to determine the effects of the plant cultivation methods on the deep-frying quality of processing potatoes under Bavarian conditions and to derive well-founded advice from them.Quality problems of French fries due to browning and sugar ends depend on various factors. In the...

Fostering sustainable legume-based farming systems and agri-feed and food chains in the EU (Project)
Partners from ten European countries are working together on this project to promote the cultivation and utilisation of leguminous crops within the EU. The goal is to develop sustainable and competitive cultivation systems and value chains within the feedstuffs and food sector. Assisted by 20 existing value chains and networks that reflect the diversity of European legume cultivation, LegValue...

Monitoring of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxines in surface-waters in rural regions (Project)
Cyanotoxins occur in practically all surface waters of the Federal Republic of Germany. They are formed by various cyanobacteria and are increasingly observed in waters rich in plant nutrients (especially total phosphorus). In addition, they can also occur in animal watering places during the summer season. If they come into contact with or are absorbed into the human body, they can cause...

Development of a process to improve the added value of brewer's grains for health-promoting animal nutrition (Project)
Spent grains are valuable food by-products of the brewing industry. In Germany approximately 2 million tons of malted brewing grain is separated after the mashing process each year. Small quantities are utilised in foods such as spent grain bread or snacks, with larger quantities used as animal feed. Problematic about this by-product is the high water content, and thus limited storability and...

Contamination of native medicinal plants with heavy metals and possibilities to reduce their content in the progeny grown under controlled growth conditions in Egypt (Project)
Wild plants of desert areas show regularly higher heavy metal concentrations because of extreme growth conditions. Plants show reduced biomass growth due to drought/salt stress, a narrower leaf:stem ratio and lower leaf water content which results in an enrichment of heavy metals. These wild plants are adapted to stress conditions which make them promising candidates for the re-vegetation of...

Investigation and validation of measures against weeds in the area of railway tracks (Project)
The railway tracks of the DB have to be kept free from weeds for operational and traffic safety reasons. Currently there is a purely chemical vegetation control. Discussions on the use of herbicides in track systems and increasing application requirements have already led DB to investigate numerous non-chemical vegetation control methods in the past. However, so far none of the considered methods...

Evaluation of cherry breeding material under organic growing conditions (Project)
In the project, new sweet cherry cultivars and are tested for their fruit growing characteristics under organic growing conditions. The collected evaluation data will be compared with the results of tests under conventional growing conditions. In addition to the evaluation of the breeding material, it is also planned to proposed the experience and treatment methods of organic growing to adapted...

Priming for enhanced defense as a strategy to optimize crop resistance and as a possible breeding target - PrimedPlant2 (Project)
The combination of priming-responsive genomes with resistance- or priming-inducing strains, consortia or soil microbiome has great potential. It is the key innovation of our approach, and we are confident that it will lead to novel approaches. In the second phase (PrimedPlant2), we intent to implement the finding from the first phase and transfer them into field conditions. The aim is to prove...

Combining approaches for photosynthetic improvement to allow increased sustainability and productivity in European agriculture (Project)
CAPITALISE has identified key physiological responses or properties that are promising candidate strategies to improve photosynthesis to meet EU crop breeding needs for increased yields. These lead photosynthesis strategies are the ‘MoVaPs’, our Most Valuable Players: 1. Tuning of the Calvin cycle; 2. The kinetics of photosynthetic responses to changes in irradiance; 3. Tuning leaf chlorophyll...
