Two-site experiments to optimize sowing and harvesting times of Taraxacum koksaghyz (Project)

Temporally spread sowings of Taraxacum koksaghyz are planted in parallel in Quedlinburg and Groß Lüsewitz and sampled monthly. Data on biomass and rubber and sugar contents are determined. The aim is to provide a decision-making aid for determining optimum sowing and harvesting times. If the optimum times are not reached, a yield forecast should be possible.

Shigatoxin-producing E. coli in the flour food chain (Project)

The aim of the project is to identify possible entry sources of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in the flour food chain. For this purpose, various samples will be taken regularly on the research farm of the Friedrich-Löffler-Institute in Braunschweig and analyzed by the participating research institutions (FLI, BfR, MRI and University of Gießen). Fecal samples from cattle, manure samples...

Investigation of the transcriptional activity of Listeria monocytogenes strains in the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) stage (Project)

Bacterial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, which are also found in food, can enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. In this state, they are no longer detectable in food using established cultivation techniques, but can still lead to outbreaks of disease if ingested with food. It has also been shown that VBNC cells are more resistant to decontamination attempts and therefore...

Studies on the Use of Aircraft in Crop Protection (Project)

Conducting drift measurements according to an internationally coordinated measurement protocol to generate drift benchmark values for the use of plant protection products and, if applicable, biocides with aircraft (drone and helicopter). Developing guidelines for the use of drones in the application of plant protection products. The legal basis is § 18 (4) of the German Plant Protection Act...

Characterization of selected meat substitutes regarding their (nutritional) quality and microbiological as well as chemical safety (Project)

The aim of this multi-institutional project is to characterize selected categories of highly processed meat substitutes (bratwurst, burger patties, minced meat, schnitzel/nuggets, unbreaded meat substitutes) in terms of their quality and safety (composition, digestibility, microbiology, residues and contaminants). The survey data will be available as a basis for future evaluations of these...

Nutritional aspects of traditional and innovative pulse products (Project)

The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the nutritional properties of legumes (HF), particularly with regard to lipid and glucose metabolism. Underlying physiological mechanisms, particularly over the effect of the intestinal microbiota, will be examined, as well as technological influences through the preparation of HF. In this project, traditionally prepared legumes (T-HF) (e.g. lentil...

Metabolites of Solanum tuberosum and new traits (Project)

The diversity of metabolites in the cultivated potato assortment at the JKI is to be screened using HPLC-MS using untargeted metabolite profiling, e.g. taking into account known and unknown metabolites. By correlating the metabolites' abundances with known resistances, bioactive ingredients are to be identified for a targeted breeding enrichment of these substances in potatoes. In this way, the...

Plant protection product application data: Digitization and use in regulation and research (Project)

Small bodies of water in particular are often exposed to inputs of active substances from plant protection products (PPPs) and their degradation products, especially after rain events, if they are located in the catchment area of agricultural land. One of the aims of the National Action Plan for the Sustainable Use of Plant Protection Products (NAP) was to record this pollution on a...

Sorghum – boosting breeding by multilevel modeling (Project)

We tackle major grain sorghum production challenges in Germany through sophisticated modeling techniques based on data from 200 test hybrids cultivated per year in 7 strongly contrasting production environments with regard to climate and other environmental factors. In addition to chilling susceptibility in the juvenile stage and late ripening of grain sorghum, these include tolerance to drought...
