Genomics-based exploitation of wheat genetic resources for plant breeding. Subproject E (Project)

... The overall goal of GeneBank2.0 is to leverage the wheat ex-situ collection hosted at the IPK Gatersleben to an actively deployed one in plant breeding by applying an integrated concept encompassing cutting-edge genomics, phenomics, biodiversity informatics, and precision (pre)breeding. ...The GBS profiles form the basis for four innovative and complementary strategies to identify valuable novel alleles or gametes: 1) The 22,000 accessions will be screened for resistance against three devastating wheat diseases, leaf and stripe rust as well as Fusarium head blight. ...The selected core set will be profiled using RenSeq in order to perform gene/allele mining for resistance through haplotype-based GWAS. 2) Novel trait discovery will be performed focusing on genetic variation important for hybrid wheat breeding redesigning the wheat flower implementing a genomics-based select-and-backcross method identify major genes promoting open pollination. 3) Combining physiology and population genomics in order to perform a targeted allele mining in genetic resources will identify for promising candidate genes contributing to nitrogen-use efficiency. 4) Opening the toolbox of genomic selection for pre-breeding by implementing a novel hybrid strategy will help identifying genetic resources with high breeding value for grain yield. ...

Development of integrated livestock breeding and management strategies to improve animal health, product quality and performance in European organic and low input milk, meat and egg production (LOWINPUTBREEDS) (Project)

...The consortium includes 11 academic centres of excellence and 6 genetics/breeding companies (4 SMEs) in 11 European, 2 ICPC and 2 industrialised third countries. ...The project will focus on 5 LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (dairy cows, dairy and meat sheep, pigs and laying hens) and design SPECIES-SPECIFIC BREEDING STRATEGIES for different macroclimatic regions in Europe. 2. ...This will focus on issues (e.g. mastitis and parasite control, animal welfare problems) where breeding or management innovations alone are unlikely to provide satisfactory solutions. 3. ...

Long-term effects of mother-bonded rearing on female calves in organic dairy farming (Project)

...Thus, this project aims to investigate the social behaviour of pregnant heifers - reared either motherbonded or artificial - during the process of integration in a herd of dairy cows, to monitor these heifers during their first lactation and to evaluate the motherbonded rearing system with regard to its practicability under farming conditions. 20 heifers, (12 suckled by their mother and 8 artificial reared with an automatic milk feeder over the first 3 months) kept together under the same management conditions, will be integrated separately into the herd 3 to 4 weeks before calving. ...Social behaviour and nearest neighbour will be recorded by continuous and scan sampling, respectively. At day 8 after integration, the observation will be repeated over a shorter period. ...Cortisol metabolites in faeces indicate stress and faecal samples will the taken before and at day 1, 3 and 7 after the integration. To investigate the long term effects of the rearing system on lactating cows, the 20 animals will be observed again in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lactation third, and health as well as performance data will be collected monthly over the whole first lactation....

Effects of long-lasting drought on CO2 uptake by plants and on carbon metabolism in plant-soil interaction (Project)

...We focused on plant and soil samples from two different plant communities (temperate grassland and heathland) that had been exposed to 5 years of 4.5–6.0 weeks repeated annual drought. ...First 13CO2 pulse at day 0 of the experiment revealed much higher 13C tracer uptake for shoots, roots and soil compared to the second pulse (day 44), where all plants showed significantly lower (20 – 70% less) 13C tracer uptake. After the third 13CO2 pulse (day 70), very low 13C uptake in shoots led to negligible allocation of 13C into roots and soil. ...
