Collaborative project: Wheat in efficient crop rotations in relation to an idealized acquisition of nutrients - subproject 4 (Project)

...For this purpose, in several steps, a trait donor for increased root growth was first crossed with European elite varieties and the F1 cross products were then backcrossed to generate near-isogenic lines (NILs). ...

Meat juice multi serology - Development of a 'pig-specific microarrays' as a monitoring tool or for setting up a monitoring system with multi serological meat juice as sample material to minimize pathogenic / zoonotic pathogens in the food chain (Project)

...Therefore, miniaturized and simultaneous methods (one drop of specimen, several serological results at the same time), which produce cost-efficient meaningful results, i. e. targeted and continuously reproduced serological herd profiles for pig herds delivering pigs for slaughter, are needed. The methodological approach is: Various preparations and concentrations of the antigens of the pathogens relevant for food safety and for pig health such as Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Trichinella, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and Influenza-A H1N1 and H3N2 will be spotted on blank microchips. ...

Importance and Bioactivity of the Microbial trans-Resveratrol Metabolites Dihydroresveratrol and Lunularin (Project)

...In own preliminary studies, next to dihydroresveratrol (DH-RES), two previously unknown microbial t-RES metabolites, i.e. 3,4´-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene and lunularin, were identified in vitro and in vivo. ...The objectives of this project are 1.) elucidation of the importance of the microbial t-RES metabolites dihydroresveratrol and lunularin in human adults by means of a human intervention study that is based on a larger cohort (n=100; LC-DAD-MS-analysis of 48 h-urine); 2.) identification of bacterial species which are associated with the formation of lunularin using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, DGGE and qRT-PCR. ...Murine plasma and urine samples will be analysed as follows: insulin-like growth factor and insulin by ELISA; cholesterol and triglyceride levels by photometry; the expression of Nrf2 target genes GPx, HO-1, GST and NQO1 by Western blotting and qRT-PCR; the activity of AMPK by Western blotting, the Sirt1 activity by fluorimetry and autophagy-markers by Western blotting anti-LC3; comprehensive GCxGC-MS based metabolomics. ...

Effects of NANOparticles on beneficial soil MIcrobes and CROPS (NANOMICROPS) (Project)

...Specifically it will be tested 1) whether NPs accumulate in soils, soil microbes, and crops, and 2) whether NPs affect microbial population structure and key ecological functions performed by symbiotic soil microbes, in particular nitrogen (N) fixation and phosphorus (P) acquisition, and 3) whether NPs affect crop performance, specifically crop yield and quality. ...Two agricultural crops, i.e. wheat and clover, and two groups of symbiotic soil microbes, i.e. ...NPs potentially relevant for the agro-environment (e.g., TiO2, carbon nanotubes) will be added in increasing concentrations as spray or liquid to crop or soil surfaces, or be mixed homogenously with soil. ...

Evaluation of the current situation of anthelmintic resistance in first season grazing calves on dairy farms in northern Germany (Project)

...The albendazole-treated animals were examined again 7 and 14 days after drug input. The ivermectin-treated animals were 14 days, 21 days and 28 or 35 days re-sampled after deworming. ...The active ingredient Ivermectin had revealed reduced efficacy at 4 of 8 farms in the year 2006 and 2 out of 6 farms in the year 2007. The reduction in EPG 14 days after treatment did not meet international criteria for full efficacy. ...The values for body constitution showed that regression from heart girth value on body weight is allowed (R² = 0.965) and between BCS and body weight (R² = 0.30) it is uncertain. ...

Characterization and optimization of the replication of hepatitis E virus in cell culture, a project of the German One Health Initiative (GOHI) (Project)

...The notified hepatitis E cases significantly increased in Germany during the past years. The hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a zoonosis, which can be transmitted through contact to infected pigs and wild boars or through consumption of food prepared thereof. ...In the proposed project, the replication of HEV strain 47832c, which was originally isolated and adapted to cell culture at the BfR, will be investigated in more detail and optimized. ...

Site-differentiated assessment and crediting of the efficacy of nitrification inhibitors as a climate mitigation measure in crop production (NitriKlim) - SP F (Project)

...The largest source of N2O in agriculture is the use of nitrogen fertilisers, which causes ca. 60% of total N2O emissions from agriculture. Here, both direct N2O emissions from the fertilised soils and indirect N2O emissions caused by the discharge of reactive nitrogen compounds (e.g. leaching of nitrate, emission of ammonia) are relevant. ...On the one hand, there is the potential to significantly reduce both direct and indirect N2O emissions by inhibiting nitrate formation and thus improve the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation. ...

Greenhouse gas management in European land use systems (Project)

...One of the largest European research efforts for elucidating these mechanisms is the FP7 project 'GHG-Europe? coordinated by the Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart agriculture. ...To this end the European Union provides almost 7 million €. National and university funds contribute add about 12 million €. ...Europe remains a net carbon sink, which is more than compensated by N2O and CH4 emissions from agriculture. These updates do not fully include yet the greenhouse gas (GHG) sources from drained organic soils (peat soils). ...

Site-differentiated assessment and crediting of the efficacy of nitrification inhibitors as a climate mitigation measure in crop production - SP A (Project)

...Nitrous oxide emissions (N2O emissions) from agriculture are accountable for around 80% of total N2O emissions in Germany and for 45% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector. The largest source of N2O in agriculture is the use of nitrogen fertilisers (mineral fertilisers and organic manure also including biogas digestates), which causes ca. 60% of total N2O emissions from agriculture. Here, both direct N2O emissions from the fertilised soils and indirect N2O emissions caused by the discharge of reactive nitrogen compounds (e.g. leaching of nitrate, emission of ammonia) are relevant. ...
