Breeding and agronomy of novel, low-vicine faba beans and adoption as domestic protein feed (Project)
...A novel winter-type faba beans will be bred which is low in (antinutritive) vicine/convicine (V+C). Botanical, genetic, breeding and agronomy issues of V+C will be solved. ...Defined faba beans will be employed, they include near-isogenic contrasts for normal vs. low vicine/convicine (V+C). Agronomy tasks (partner Schmidtke, Dresden): Map agro-meteorologically convenient sites for winterbeans; assess effect of V+C on resistance, N2-fixation and balance sheet, water uptake (incl. spring vs. winter types). Tasks in breeding and breeding research (partners Link & Sass): Development of a NIRS-calibration for V+C-breeding, breeding of a first novel low V+C-winterbean variety. ...

Future Crops for Food, Feed, Fiber and Fuel (4F CROPS) (Project)
...The main objective of the proposed 4F CROPS is to survey and analyse all the parameters that will play an important role in successful non-food cropping systems in the agriculture of EU27 alongside the existing food crop systems. The work will start (WP1) with the prediction of the future land use in short term (2020) and long term (2030), taking under consideration restrict factors for agriculture and the market demand for non-food crops. The cropping possibilities (WP2) based on regional potential levels, ecology and climate will be determined. ...

Collaborative project: Development of an integrated pest management strategy to minimize yellow rust of wheat, Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, in cereal crops - Subproject 1 (Project)
...Yellow rust, Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, is one of the most important cereal pathogens. ...For the discovery of new resistance mechanisms, which are especially effective in adult plants, biotechnological methods of modern plant breeding will be used. (1) Monitoring the German yellow rust populations with regard to the occurring virulences and pathotypes as well as their diversity and complexity. (2) Testing the sensitivity of yellow rust populations to the most common fungicides used to control wheat yellow rust. (3) Identification of race-specific resistance genes in new wheat germplasm with effective adult-plant resistance to yellow rust. (4) Selection of new, durable adult plant resistances by biotechnological methods of plant breeding (DH technique, QTL mapping).The project will develop innovative methods for the targeted use of cultivar resistance within the concept of integrated pest management and reduce the use of fungicides....

Ecological production of L-Methionin from ecologically produced renewable ressources (Project)
...An alternative is the biotechnical production of L-methionine on an ecological basis without the application of genetic engineering. ...The newly developed screening strategy consists of: 1. UV mutation of suitable strains, 2. a microbiological test for methionine (by a methionine auxotrophic strain) applicable on the scale of a microtiter plate and 3. a reliable and rapid amino acid analysis (gas chromatography after derivatization). ...The final concentration of methionine under optimized conditions was nearly 400 mg/L....

Production, selection and assessment of lemon balm breeding lines (Melissa officinalis) distinguished by better winter hardiness and higher yields and amounts of essential oil (Project)
...Part of this material will be tested under conditions of agricultural practice (2015 and 2016, Agrarprodukte Ludwigshof e.G., Geratal Agrar Gmbh & Co. KG). The results developed in the project will be published as an example of a crop with leaf utilization. ...Winter hardiness, a better total yield of leaves in all growing periods and amount of essential oil are of special interest for lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.).Field trials were established for evaluation of new lines from inbreeding process and progenies from crossings at three places. Inbred lines were evaluated in level I5 and I6 seeds were harvested. F4 lines of crossbred material with good winter hardiness and high yield of essential oil were evaluated and a F5 seeds were harvested. ...

Testing of potato varieties to their particular suitability for organic farming (Project)
...The project comprises an extended approach by the University of Kassel and intends to cooperate closely with the FPVO. On 7 sites in 6 federal states, variety trials with the same varieties of different maturity groups shall be carried out in fields that have been managed according to the regulations for organic farming for many years. ...The collected data of the 7 field trials will be fed into the statistical software package PIAF which is not only used by all seven federal collaborators, but also by the Federal Plant Variety Office, which allows good comparability. ...

Gross ammonification, gross nitrification and N net mineralization in temperate forest soils at low temperatures (Project)
...In laboratory experiments with undisturbed soil samples at constantly low temperatures (+8, +5, +2, -1, -4 °C) we will investigate the temperature dependency of gross ammonification, gross nitrification and immobilization in different soil horizons from both sites using the 15N dilution technique. To test the hypothesis that substrate quantity and quality influence the temperature dependency of these processes, different substrates (NH4 in case of gross nitrification; glycine, proline and 2,6-pyridindicarbonic acid in case of gross ammonification) will be added. ...
