Standardized biotechnological separation process for gender-specific separation of sperm in cattle breeding using free-flow electrophoresis (Project)
The aim of the R&D project is to develop a highly efficient method for sex-specific separation of bovine sperm without compromising sperm quality or reducing fertility during insemination. Using specific preselection methods for donor animals and the principle of free-flow electrophoresis (FFE), the aim is to develop a standardized procedure for the optimized preparation and post-treatment of...

EMFAF projects on ecosystem-friendly and alternative fishing gear in the North Sea and Baltic Sea (environmental projects, topic 1) (Project)
The impact of fisheries on the ecosystem and its components largely depends on the type of fishing gear used. This also means that the systematic further development or redesign of fishing gear is a key factor in advancing an ecosystem-friendly fishery in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. For many years, the Thünen Institute has been developing and testing fishing gear in order to provide solutions...

Studies on the multispectral resolution of the symptoms of barley mosaic disease (Project)
Barley yellow mosaic virus is caused by the barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and the barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV). Typical symptoms include streak mosaic on the leaves, stunted growth, and yield loss. Diagnosis is usually made by symptom assessment and ELISA. Since the viruses are spread by the soil-borne vector Polymyxa graminis and remain infectious for a long time, affected areas are...
