SPP 1149: Functional analysis of genes involved in heterosis for plant height in maize by expression profiling (Project)
Heterosis is the superior performance of hybrids compared to the mean of their (inbred) parents. Despite of its significance for plant breeding little is known about the molecular basis of heterosis. Genomics, especially expression profiling, offers new possibilities to study this phenomenon at the molecular level. In this study, the plant height of maize will be used as model to study heterosis,...

SPP 1149: Genetic Analysis of Heterosis in Rapeseed (B. napus L.) (Project)
The general objective of the proposed project is a comparative genetic analysis of heterosis in rapeseed by QTL mapping in different mapping populations. In Göttingen a segregating doubled haploid population will be developed from a cross displaying high heterosis and a genetic map will be developed using SSR markers. QTL for yield and yield related traits as well as some morphological traits...

SPP 1149: Heterosis-associated gene expression in early development (Project)
There is emerging evidence that differential gene expression between hybrids and their inbred parents is associated with heterosis and that these altered expression pattern are connected with allele-specific silencing. An important step towards the understanding of this phenomenon would be the knowledge which genes facilitate the identification of differential expressed genes. The first step will...

SPP 1149: Metabolic phenotype of heterosis in Zea mays (Project)
Maize is an important crop and a model system for heterosis. Heterosis was established for two widely used elite maize inbred lines, B73 and Mo17. These lines will used here to study the effects of heterosis on starch biosynthesis in the maize seed. Metabolite flux leading to the incorporation of glucose units into starch of the endosperm will be analysed by retrobiosynthetic NMR spectroscopy....

SPP 1149: Molecular genetics of heterosis of the plant`s earliest stage, the embryo, using the large-seeded faba bean as model (Project)
Heterosis of developing and mature single seeds will be analyzed. The seed is decisive at sowing and when becoming 'grain yield'. The seed has its own genetics: yet, xenia effects are mostly neglected: xenia, the direct impact of the seed's genotype on its own traits. Seeds show heterosis, but only very few experimental data are available. Is heterosis of seed size specific, caused by the...

Cross breeding with the landrace Tettnanger (Project)
The landrace Tettnanger should be significantly improved in its yield and fungal resistance while maintaining its original noble aroma profile. This objective could not be achieved via clonal selection. Thus, a classical cross breeding program has been started by using Tettnanger and pre-selected Hüll male breeding lines derived from progenies revealing fine aroma, broad disease resistance and...

Nature conservation in ecological focus areas – practical handbook and scientific support (Project)
Within the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy farms with more than 15ha arable land must manage 5% of their area as an ecological focus area. How were these areas used previously? How valuable are they for nature protection? Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes declines significantly. The recent reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union focuses on ecological...
