SFB 564: G1.3 - Assessment of innovations and sustainability strategies (Project)
The subproject uses agent-based modeling to assess the impact of innovations and to simulate changes in land use in the northern uplands of Thailand and Vietnam. For phase IV, the objectives are: First, to deepen our understanding of the complexity of upland farming systems by coupling the agent-based software MP-MAS with the software LUCIA (crop and soil fertility modeling in Vietnam) and with...

EU-SOL - High Quality Solanaceous Crops for Consumers, Processors and Producers by Exploration of Natural Biodiversity (Project)
The aim of the EU-SOL project is to develop high quality tomato and potato varieties with improved traits important for consumers, processors and producers. The project particularly focuses on mapping, isolating and characterizing genes underlying important traits such as healthiness, nutritional value, taste, flavor, fragrance, shelf-life, starch composition, yield and plant architecture.New...

An European Integrated In Situ Management Workplan: Implementing Genetic Reserve and On Farm Concepts (AEGRO) (Project)
If selected populations of a species are actively managed within its natural distribution area, the subarea concerned is then called a ?genetic reserve?. The selected populations should represent the total genetic diversity of a species. In situ maintenance is condition for the continued adaptation of species to changing environmental conditions. Within the EU the practical application of this...

Breeding of lupines for ecological farming - quality investigations concerning feed suitability (Project)
Blue lupins can be used in organic farming without limitation. They were less sensitive to diseases and ripened early as well as uniformly at all locations. However, the yellow and white lupins grown at Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian (MP) locations had problems in ripening. For evaluation of lupins as feeding stuff in organic farming not only differences in yield but also in components and...

Inheritance analysis of sensory traits for strawberry by instrumental and sensory methods (Project)
Breeding of cultivars or basic plant material of strawberry with a high degree of resistance to Verticillium dahliae, Colletotrichum acutatum, Phytophthora fragariae var. fragariae. Excluding Verticillium, new methods of resistance evaluation are to be developed. New cultivars must satisfy the high demands on quality in respect to fruit firmness, taste, fruit color, -shape and -size, as well as...

Broadening of genetic basic in narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) (Project)
Lupins display the highest protein content among those grain legumes which can be used in animal feeding and as food. Lupins may be considered as a model for low- input crops, especially in marginal lands where no other crops can be grown profitably. Furthermore, lupins have high benefits as a preceding crop, which makes them a crop of choice in system of sustainable agriculture. To develop novel...

Evaluation of methods for improving genetic diversity of alternative crops considering caraway (Carum carvi L.) as example (Project)
Caraway is widely used in Central Europe due to its sensory characteristics and biological effects as spice and, in addition, as herbal remedy and for the production of a natural potato sprout inhibitor. Its cultivation as alternative crop contributes to sustainability by maintaining diversity of crops and by diversifying crop rotation. It provides the farmers with a market niche also in the...

Development and application of resistance screening methods to economically important fungi of carrots (Daucus carota) particularly to black rot disease caused by Alternaria radicina Meier, Drechsler and Eddy (Project)
Infestation of carrots is very often associated with crop losses or losing during storage, in product quality as well as in the seed production. An important fungus disease on carrots is the black rot disease caused by Alternaria radicina. The improvement of the resistance to this pathogen could ensure sustainable product quality and stability of the yields. The application of pesticides could be...

Development of molecular biological methods to qualtitativen and quantitative detection and for differentiation of Fusarium spp. (Project)
In recent years, ear-fusariosis has increased particularly in wheat. These are in two respects a problem: First, they reduce the yield, on the other hand, the Be-case through the formation of so-called mycotoxins (trichothecenes) leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of the wheat. To improve the diagnosis the test should be highly specific and sensitive polymerase chain reaction...
