Non-linear analysis of data from the environmental monitoring (Project)

Investigating water and solute turnover is based on small scale process studies that are upscaled using simulation models to describe the complex interplay between biotic and abiotic processes at larger scales. Now large data sets are available delivered by extended research projects and environmental monitoring programs that can be used for innovative system analysis approaches. Among others...

Development of methods for selection and breeding resistant cultivars of Lolium ssp. to stem rust, Puccinia graminis ssp. graminicola Urban (Project)

The higher temperatures in the summer in Europe have led to serious spread and infestation of stem rust in grass plants for seed production. Two and more treatments of fungicides have to be arranged to prevent large losses of seed yields in the field. Besides, stem rust causes damages on leaves in grasses of pastures and meadows and is responsible for serious reducing of forage quality....

Functional genome analysis for disease resistance in honey bees (Project)

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, es ist ein konstanter Rückgang der Imkerei in Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern. Die Hauptgründe für die Kolonie Verluste werden Krankheiten und die anfallende Anzahl von Krankheitserregern, die entwickelt Resistenzen gegenüber chemischen Behandlungen. Krankheiten der Brut (zB Varroa destructor: eine parasitäre Milbe, Paenibacillus larvae larvae =...

Functional genome analysis for disease resistance in honey bees (Apis mellifera) (Project)

Over the past decades, there is a constant decline of beekeeping in Germany and other European countries. The main reasons for colony losses are diseases and the accumulating number of pathogens, which developed resistances to chemical treatments. Diseases affecting the brood (e.g. Varroa destructor:  a parasitic mite, Paenibacillus larvae larvae = American Foulbrood: a bacterial disease) have...

Detection of pathogens occurring in Echinops sphaerocephalus, their virulence and the susceptibility of accessions to the most relevant pathogens with regard to cultivating this plant species as renewable resource (Project)

Aim of the studies is to identify which diseases are to be expected in the sphaerical thistle when this new crop will be under cultivation. The assessment of the susceptibility of accessions to the most relevant diseases should ensure that resistances existing potentially in the basic material can be included in the breeding process at an early date.

Adaptive potential of narrow-leafed lupin (Project)

Due to its richness in protein, N fixation, tap-root formation and environmental robustness, narrow-leafed lupin offers interesting perspectives for food and feed usage, plant cultivation, as well as agroecology. In Germany, the crop area of narrow-leafed lupin is restricted to the lighter, dryer and less calcareous soils in the east and northeast where narrow-leafed lupin can unfold its...

Physiological response of potatoes to simultaneous drought/heat stress and the development of selection criteria for tolerant plant material (Project)

The potato belongs to the crops which respond even today sensitively to drought stress periods. Moreover, it is known that high temperatures reduce tuber growth and, therefore, yield. The beginning climate change increases the probability of our cultivated plants being subjected to drought and heat stress simultaneously during vegetation period. As these stress factors act very complex on plant...
