Improvement of the comparability of organic wheat variety tests to the detailed descriptions of varieties in the 'Beschreibende Sortenliste“ of Bundessortenamt (German plant variety office) (Project)
Project goal Regional organic farming Landessortenversuche with winter wheat – centrally planned and calculated – are supposed to identify and evaluate additional valuable characteristics of wheat varieties. They are supposed to be made aware in agricultural practice and consultation in addition to the descriptive list of varieties of the Bundessortenamt (BSA). Project planning All institutions...

SYNBREED A1: Statistical methods for genomic breeding value estimation, classification and performance prediction (Project)
In order to exploit new options provided by high-throughput techniques in plant and animal breeding, there is a need to develop new and efficient statistical methods. Modern marker techniques (SNPs), which allow a dense coverage of the genome, hold particular promise for genomic selection and breeding value estimation. This approach differs from previous approaches to QTL- and association mapping...

SYNBREED A2: Genomic Selection (Project)
Within the scope of the project, strategies for genomic estimation of breeding values, originally devised for cattle, will be applied to breeding populations of maize and chicken. In a first step the optimal estimation methods that have been adapted to the respective population structures are identified by stochastic simulations for the determination of the genomic breeding value. Based on these...

SYNBREED A3: Genomic Performance Prediction (Project)
An efficient prediction of the performance of untested hybrids in hybrid breeding and of targeted matings in pure line breeding has great potential to enhance the output of breeding programs. Hitherto, performance prediction was exclusively based on phenotypic information from relatives and, therefore, was very resource consuming and of limited precision. Based on initial experimental results on...

SYNBREED A4: Population Genomics (Project)
In this project we will adapt methods and tools of population genomics to be used under the specific conditions of selected agricultural populations. They will be applied to the genome sequence and high throughput genotyping data for maize, cattle and chicken, generated in the project. In genome-wide scans we will asses the linkage disequilibrium and haplotype structure as well as recombination...

SYNBREED R2: Development of a SNP diversity panel in chicken (Project)
In project R2 DNA samples from 100 genetically diverse breeds of chickens are collected for genotyping in the technology platform T2 of the Synbreed cluster with a 60k chicken SNP array. The resulting data are a vital resource for population genomic analyses in the Synbreed A4 project. At the same time data will be used for high-resolution analysis of phylogenetic relationships between the...

SYNBREED R3: Genetic and phenotypic characterization of a highly informative sample of German Simmental cattle (Project)
Population genetic approaches will be used for the identification of an optimized sub sample of some 2,000 animals from the German Simmental population in Bavaria. All animals will be genotyped with a newly developed 300k SNP array. Genotyping will be conducted within the genotyping platform T2 and all genotypes will be combined with existing phenotypes. Genome wide association studies for yield...

Analysis of the development of foreign supply in organic products with relevance for the German organic market (Project)
Germany is not only the largest market for organic products in Europe but also its largest organic producer. In spite of this fact, in 2009/2010 Germany imported, depending on the product, 2 to 95 percent of such organic products which could also have been produced in the country. This is shown by this project, which analysed and synthesised household panel data, production and area data, as well...
