ABBA on Fire - An innovative treatment approach based on natural tailocins for fire blight control in organic pome fruit orchards (Project)

One of the most promising approaches to achieve food security and sustainable use of resources is the specific application of natural antagonists and beneficial microorganisms in agriculture. In organic farming in particular, these basic principles are already being used effectively today. Among plant-associated bacteria, there are strains that naturally produce tailocins. Similar to...

Investigations on the transmission of Candidatus phytoplasma solani (PHYPSO) and Candidatus arsenophonus phytopathogenicus (ARSEPH) to potatoes and establishment of diagnostic methods for the detection of the pathogens in potatoes and sugar beet (Project)

Reports on the increased occurrence of the pathogen Candidatus Phytoplasma solani (PHYPSO, Stolbur for short) and the γ-proteobacterium Candidatus arsenophonus phytopathogenicus (ARSEPH, common name: SBR) on potatoes and sugar beet were published in 2022 and show an associated occurrence with the reed glasswing cicada (Pentastiridius leporinus) in southern Germany. The disease SBR in sugar beet...

Development of a procedure for establishing an in vitro culture in Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna) (Project)

The testing of the starting material for the Apple Mosaic Virus represents a crucial step in ensuring quality. In this process, the inoculation of dormant buds from potted cultures is examined using established protocols, as described by Kosenko et al. (2009). To enhance efficiency, the protocols are continuously improved, potentially incorporating hazelnut protocols according to Bassil et al....

Development of a Digital Phenotyping Method for Assessing Fruit Load in Apple Genetic Resources (Project)

This project aims to develop a digital method for automatically assessing the fruit load in apple trees. This technology is intended to help predict apple tree yields more accurately and detect fluctuations in biennial bearing, to breed more yield-stable apple varieties. In apple cultivation, it is important to accurately measure the fruit load of a tree to estimate yield and evaluate fruit...

EUPHRESCO Community Network for practices in Plant Virology (Project)

The focus of this project is the networking of plant virologists in order to facilitate an exchange of knowledge and intensive cooperation. This is to take place both through online meetings and face-to-face meetings, for example based on international conferences. The meetings will enable research results to be publicised to a wide audience, new research ideas to be developed and potential...

Increasing protein use efficiency in bread wheat with innovative breeding research on the MAGIC-WHEAT population WM-800 for effective climate change mitigation in the cereal value chain (Project)

The joint project is jointly carried out by the partners at the University of Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and University Bielefeld (UniBi), KWS Saat SE (KWS), the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) and the Max Rubner-Institut (MRI). The project is coordinated by the MRI, Department of Safety and Quality of Cereals. The project is organised in eight work packages (WP). In WP 1, heterogeneous wheat inbred...

Transfer of the measurement methodology from novel spraying and misting devices to the wind tunnel (Project)

The conventional flat fan nozzle on the field sprayer boom with a nozzle-to-nozzle spacing of 50 cm and target area spacing of 50 cm is currently still the standard. In an increasing number of newer field sprayers, the nozzle-to-nozzle distance has been reduced to 25 cm and thus also the target area distance. In the previous project (1122), a method was found to be able to classify these nozzles...

Studies on the production of NX toxins by Fusarium culmorum on different cereal species (Project)

Fusarium culmorum is an important pathogen of cereal plants. Infected plants accumulate mycotoxins of the trichothecene B group, such as deoxynivalenol or nivalenol. These toxins pose a risk to the safety of food and animal feed. New trichothecenes, NX toxins, which are structurally similar to trichothecenes, have recently been discovered in isolates of F. culmorum from different countries. In F....
