Bacterial abiotic cellular stress and survival improvement network (BACSIN) (Project)
...Current application of bacteria in the environment is hindered by the lack of knowledge on the effects of stresses on cellular activity, most importantly abiotic stresses prevailing on site (e.g., desiccation or nutrient starvation), stresses as a result of pollution itself (e.g., toxicity), and those during strain preparation and formulation. BACSIN proposes four iterative poles of research and technology to overcome this hindrance for subsequent improved microbial usage. The 1st pole will investigate genome-wide catabolic and stress expression in a set of different pollutant degrading bacteria (the BACSINs ). Key cellular factors and regulatory networks determining the interplay between stress-survival and pollutant catabolism will be unveiled, and faithful predictive models for cell behaviour produced. The 2nd pole will study stress resistance, survival and activity of BACSINs in real polluted environments, via microcosms and in situ traps, plant roots and leaves, while accentuating possible effects on native communities....

Sweet Sorghum : an alternative energy crop (SWEETFUEL) (Project)
...This project will breed for improved cultivars and hybrids of sorghum for temperate, tropical semi-arid and tropical acid-soil environments by pyramiding in various combinations, depending on region and ideotype, tolerance to cold, drought and acid (Al-toxic) soils; and high production of stalk sugars, easily digestible biomass and grain (WP 1-3). Molecular-genetic and physiological breeding support is given by WP4, and agro-ecological adaptation and sustainable practices are developed by WP5. Other WPs (6, 7, 8) provide for integrated technology and impact assessments including economics, dissemination and coordination. ...

4.2 Effect of, and interactions between, laying hen genotypes, feeding regimes, ‘welfare-friendly’ moulting protocols and prolonged use of layers on performance, and animal health and welfare (Project)
...Work package has two sub work packages: WP 4.2.1 Effect of laying hen genotypes with contrasting pre-disposition for feather pecking and feeding regimes on animal health and welfare parameters. WP 4.2.2 Effect of ‘welfare-friendly’ moulting and/or prolonged laying period (to extend the lifespan of laying hens) on animal health and welfare....

Species selectivity of exogenous and endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands (Project)
...Zu diesen gehören unter anderem Gene des Fremdstoffmetabolismus wie z.B. CYP1A1 und CYP1B1, die z.T. auch für eine Autoregulation des Systems sorgen. ...Thus various hybrid AHR constructs were constructed. In hybrid 1 the entire human ligand binding domain (LBD) was replaced with its murine counterpart while in hybrids 2 and 3 only the amino- or carboxy-terminal part of the LBD was exchanged, respectively. All constructs were subsequently transfected into ΔAHR-MCF7 cells and tested for CYP1A1- responsiveness following stimulation with TCDD or indirubin. ...

Characterization of contact allergen-specific responses in cocultures of human antigen presenting cells and T cells (Project)
...The course of ACD is classically divided into two phases – a clinically silent sensitization phase and an effector phase characterized by typical clinical symptoms, e.g. eczema. Sensitization occurs if dendritic cells present allergen-induced modified target structures on their surface to T cells, so called T cell epitopes. ...Employing established animal tests, a large number of animals is required. In addition, the 7th amendment of the EU cosmetics directive prohibits the use of animals in cosmetic tests which emphasizes the need for alternative methods....

Detection of soil heterogeneity in breeding plots and field experiments (Project)
...The sensors used include mobile VIS-NIR sensors for the measurement of C, N and soil texture in the upper soil layer as well as geophysical sensors such as EM38 and EM38-MK2 for the estimation of soil texture in different depths (field wide measurements). This information is verified by laboratory NIRS (estimation of soil texture, C and N) and capacitance based soil moisture sensors (EnviroScan and Diviner). ...
