Development of an improved risk analysis for quarantine organisms on the example of the pine wood nematode (Project)

The aim is to prepare a pest risk assessment for the quarantine pest Bursaphelenchus xylophilus on the basis of actual data on the biology and pathogenicity of the nematode and its vector under European conditions by means of a computer based model to simulate different scenario of spreading e.g. dependent on different climatic conditions in Europe.

Development of a Sustainability Indicator for processing of food (Project)

Studies on the determination of energy consumption for food processing have shown that greenhouse gas emissions associated with these processes represent only a minor portion of all interactions between food supply chain activities and environmental resources. Not least because foodstuff is an energy carrier by itself, it is self-evident not only to compare the total energy expenditure for...

Entwicklung ertragreicher Sauerkirschsorten mit hoher Produktqualität und Resistenz gegenüber pilzlichen und bakteriellen Schaderregern sowie Spätfrosttoleranz (Project)

Aim of the project is the breeding of new self-compatible sour cherry cultivars with high fruit quality and processing ability, with resistance or tolerance to Monilinia ssp., Blumeriella jaapii, Pseudomonas syringae and spring frost.The project is orientated to improved and resistant sour cherry cultivars. It conduces to consumer protection.

Development of new carrot genotypes with a high anthocyanin content for the production a natural food colour, suitable to growing under German environmental conditions (Project)

The anthocyanin or black carrot becomes globally seen in the next years more and more importance in the production and processing. In the framework of the project, basis-material will be developed for breeding new German anthocyanin carrots, by using old carrot varieties and landraces conserved in different international gene banks. Through the breeding of anthocyanin carrots that are adapted to...

Developing best practice for seed sourcing for planting and natural regeneration in the neotropics (Project)

The primary focus of SEEDSOURCE is to communicate, to people who use trees (e.g. foresters, farmers, conservationists), the necessary information on germplasm sourcing and utilisation to ensure that harvested systems use the best adapted material, that maximises production and profit, without eroding genetic diversity; and that regenerative projects adopt strategies that maximise the recruitment...

Development of molecular markers for breeding apple cultivars with durable scab and powdery mildew resistance (Project)

Molecular techniques are used to identify molecular markers for resistance genes in apple. Easy-to-use DNA markers such as SCAR markers are developed for 'strong' scab resistance genes, i.e. Vr from the 'Russian seedling' apple genotype as well as for powdery mildew resistance genes of different Malus species. Polygenic scab and mildew resistances of Malus wild species and old European apple...

Shelf and coastal systems: Investigations on fish assemblages in small defined areas in the North Sea to assess the anthropogenic influence on marine ecosystems (e.g. offshore windfarms). (Project)

Since 1987, a bottom fish survey has been carried out to monitor changes in fish assemblages in 12 small defined areas of 100nm² (boxes) distributed over the whole North Sea. At the same time, water temperature, salinity and additionally nutrients, sediment and benthic invertebrates were measured or sampled. This small-scale and simultaneous sampling of different variables allows the...
