Assessment of a putative risk for transgene flow in apple (Project)
The project is aimed on the spread of apple pollen and seeds under natural conditions to assess the putative risk of gene flow in genetically engineered organisms considering apple as example. The dissemination of apple pollen will be investigated in an apple orchard and the dissemination of seeds will be studied under different natural habitats. Beside this, investigations on fertilization will...

Alternative ways for reducing Fusarium susceptibility in wheat leading to a lesser contimation with mycotoxins - a contribution to health care and consumer protection (Project)
On Arabidopsis it was shown that the introgession of genetic information coding for a fusarium specific antibody and antifungal proteins leads to a significant increase in resistance to Fusarium in comparison to control plants and those only expressing the antibody or the antifungal protein (Peschen et al. 2004, Nature Biotechnology 22: 732-738). Therefore, this procedure, i.e. combining a...

Analyses of genetics of resistance to Turnip yellows virus and development of molecular markers (Project)
Due to yield losses between 10-15% Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) has gained evident importance in rape seed production and breeding. This holds especially true with respect to an environmental friendly (TuYV) rape seed production as no pesticides to eliminate the vector have to be applied. A prerequisite for efficient breeding for resistance is the availability of detailed knowledge on the genetics...

Evaluation of genetic resources in genus Pelargonium (Project)
The genus Pelargonium comprises more than 250 wild species within 16 sections, representing a potential source for broadening the genetic diversity in cultivated geraniums. Therefore, a complex of methods for the use of genetic resources will be established. The first aim of the project using cytological analyses should show which wild species contributed to the cultivated geraniums.- The second...

Investigations regarding influence of abiotic stress (temperature, pH-compatibility) to quality parameters of legumes in view of human and animal nutrition (Project)
Native legumes are more and more important as alternative protein source in animal nutrition as substitute for animal protein in human nutrition. Depending on different environmental factors there are considerable variations in the composition of raw material. A high and constant yield potential but also a raw material with stable quality is necessary for a wide use of legumes. The aim of the...

European Training and Networking Activity in Plant Genomics and Bioinformatics (Project)
Plant genome research developed into one of the most dynamic discipline of molecular life sciences. Plants are recognized as the basis of a bio-based economy and play a fundamental rule to sustain our environment. European countries bundle their efforts in national and regional research programs. Some of those have already developed sustainable co-operations with joint research projects. But many...

Elucidating the aetiology of hereditary diseases in the pig by integrating structural and functional genomics (Project)
HeDiPig was established to elucidate the aetiology of hereditary diseases in the pig by integrating structural and functional genomics. Inherited disorders significantly affect health and welfare in pig breeding populations. Above that, these disorders lead to fundamental economic losses in the pig industry due to increased mortality and limitation of selection intensity on other important...

Functional analysis of Genetic Mechanisms determining Variability of Protective Ability in the Mammary Gland of Cattle (Project)
The consortium M.A.S.-Net will perform a functional analysis of genetic mechanisms determining the variability of protective ability in the mammary gland of cattle. Among the functional traits in modern dairy cattle production udder health (mastitis) is one of the key issues for the economy of milk production and for the welfare of dairy cows. Additionally, udder health affects milk quality...

Functional Analysis of Genes involved in Lipid Metabolism in Cattle and Swine for the Identification of Product Quality relevant DNA Variation (Project)
The consortium QuaLIPID is coordinated by H.-R. Fries and aims at the functional analysis of genes involved in lipid metabolism in cattle and swine for the identification of DNA variation relevant for product quality. The quality of animal products is determined to a large extent by the quantity and quality of the lipid constituents. There are three major aspects of product quality: processing...
