GRK 1397: Regulation of soil organic matter and nutrient turnover in organic agriculture (Project)
...The budgets of SOM and nutrients determine soil fertility, i.e. the long-term productivity of soils. However, the underlying processes of soil fertility in organic agriculture are not well understood. ...The focus is to be on (i) the quality of inputs (crop residues, organic fertilizers), (ii) the turnover of litter and SOM, especially carbon, nitrogen and other relevant nutrients (Ca, K, Mg, PO4), (iii) gaseous (CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3) and liquid (NO3, dissolved organic carbon, cations) outputs and (iv) the coupling of these aspects by modelling....

I-RoBi - Using rush from moorland sites as an industrial raw material (Project)
...As a renewable raw material, rush is available regionally and can contribute to ecological sustainability by replacing conventional raw materials and growing in moorland, a habitat that serves as a CO2 reservoir. Rewetted moorland is also suitable for the cultivation of rushes.As part of the project, harvesting and raw material utilisation concepts for rushes are to be developed that take into account the special challenges of rush harvesting.The expected results include the optimal harvesting of rushes on boggy permanent grassland. ...In addition, the processed rushes will be converted into fibre form for various application scenarios, e.g. as an insulating material and/or filler in plastic compounds, in order to demonstrate the potential for industrial use.The project will be completed by characterising the materials in all relevant stages and a final life cycle assessment, which is intended to show the sustainability potential of this solution approach, taking into account the CO2 savings potential. ...

Field studies on the interaction of heat stress and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on growth and grain development of wheat (Project)
...Field studies with simultaneous manipulation of temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations have not yet been done. Therefore, in this project wheat will be cultivated in the field and subjected to elevated CO2 concentrations and heat stress during specific heat sensitive developmental stages. ...The objectives of the project are 1) to quantify the effect of heat stress on wheat yield under field conditions and its modification by atmospheric CO2 concentration, 2) to provide experimental data from field studies to modelers for improving wheat models used for climate change assessment on wheat yield and 3) to assess the heat sensitivity of recent wheat cultivars and to contribute to the development of new cultivars adapted to future climatic conditions. The project is part of a network with other partners from the universities of Bonn, Halle and Kiel, which perform additional heat stress experiments without CO2 enrichment and particularly use the data for improving wheat modeling and assessing the effect of future climate change on wheat yield for different growing regions in Germany....

Diagnosis of virus diseases within certificatioin of pome fruit and development of strategies for maintaining the health status of certified basic material and rootstocks (Project)
...Full length PCR's for ACLSV isolates and production of infecfious cDNA clones for ACLSV, ASPV and ASGV, followed by infection experiments on apple, pear and quince for the study of related diseases will be investigated. ...Sequence analysis showed low percentage of sequence reads (1-2%) which matched apple viruses and in most cases the coverage of the whole genome was not complete. ...

FOR 562 TP 2: Microbial cycling of iron in acidic fens (Project)
...The manipulation experiments of 2006 and 2007 indicated that increased peat aeration at the fen Schlöppnerbrunnen did not eliminate the critical mechanism restricting the re-release of CO2 to the atmosphere as predicted by the enzymic latch hypothesis. ...The main goals of project 2 are (1) to determine if drying and rewetting events affect the abundance of the active Fe(III)-reducing populations, (2) to estimate to which extent Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria are involved in the deposition of iron minerals, and (3) to elucidate the microbial population involved in the oxidation of acetate....

The role of RBOH-type NADPH oxidases in compatibility of barley with fungal organisms (Project)
...Our preliminary work points to a role of barley RBOHs in compatibility and basal resistance to Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (Bgh). Here, we suggest genetic, biochemical and cell biological approaches for understanding the function of barley RBOH genes in compatibility with diverse fungal microbes....

Distribution and damage potential of plant parasitic nematodes on medicinal and aromatic plants and development of sustainable management strategies (Project)
...This results to the following objectives of this applied research project: 1) investigations on the occurrence of plant parasitic nematodes on medicinal and aromatic plants, 2) identification of the primary harmful nematode species, 3) determination of the damage potential of plant parasitic nematodes on selected medicinal and aromatic plants, 4) effects of nematode infestation on relevant compounds of selected medicinal and aromatic plants, 5) development of sustainable nematode management and 6) transfer of the acquired knowledge into practice. ...To achieve these goals a powerful and competent team has been formed that covers the entire value chain in medicinal and aromoatc plant cultivation: research (JKI Münster, University of Bonn), consultancy (University of Bonn, Ökoplant e.V.) and producers (agrimed Hessen, MAWEA / Calbe) and processors. ...

Biomethane and peat substitute from poplar wood (Project)
...Poplar wood from short rotation plantations can be used as a renewable raw material for the production of renewable energies, e.g. for decentralized heat contracting. However, the use of climate-friendly wood heating systems in urban areas faces many challenges, such as the space required for heating systems and fuel storage, as well as the current discussion on fine dust. ...The following tasks are addressed in the project: (1) Parameter identification (fibre length, fibre distribution) for a double-function disintegration treatment of poplar wood for biogas and peat substitute production, (2) Development of a process for the continuous, stable, and high-yield fermentation of poplar wood fibres to biogas (biomethane) on a laboratory scale, (3) Development and testing of crop cultivation utilisation concepts for the solid wood-fibrous fraction of the fermentation residues (tests as peat substitute) on a practical scale as well as theoretical considerations on the utilisation options of the liquid phase of the digestate, (4) economic and ecological evaluation of the overall concept (estimation)....

Breeding of homozygous rootstocks for organic cucumber production (Project)
...The varieties to be developed in this project (Aim 1, processed exclusively by Bingenheimer Saatgut AG (BSAG)) are intended to be resistant rootstocks for organic commercial cultivation and represent a way out of dependence on dominant companies. In addition to independence from non-European seed producers, they are intended to ensure the supply of sufficient organically produced seeds and to enable reproduction and further development opportunities by breeders/gardeners/farmers. Aim 2 Selection of resistant pumpkin genotypes: The aim is to demonstrate viable ways of selecting resistances and tolerances against soil-borne pathogens and plant-parasitic nematodes. ...A public discourse on the practicability and performance of refined cucumber plants should be initiated through practical field days, publications of project results in German-language specialist magazines (e.g. Bioland) and national conferences....
