Proteomic analysis into molecular toxicological effects of nano particles in human intestinal Caco-2 cells (Project)

Also in food stuff, nanotechnologies and associated manufactured nano particles are in-creasingly used. It is estimated that more than 90 different materials in more than 600 differ-ent food products are presently used. Since health risks of nanoparticles in food stuff are not yet scientifically proven and presence of nanomaterial in food stuff cannot be monitored rou-tinely, labelling of...

Development and evaluation of a stress-free slaughter system for outdoor cattle - Subproject 2 (Project)

Established slaughtering systems include capture, transportation, confrontation with foreign conspecifics and eventually the delivery to the stunning box and an immobilization inside the box. All these aspects imply tremendous stress for animals. Outdoor cattle kept on free-range pastures are especially exposed to premortal strain and frequently generate handling-problems at the day of the...

Collaborative project: Breeding of adapted soybeans – initial populations for genomic selection - subproject 2 (Project)

Soybean is the most important protein plant of the world with increasing acreages also in Germany. One reason is the optimized yield stability due to the use of early soybean varieties developed in Canada and Switzerland. However, for a lasting increase of soybean acreage in Germany it is necessary to further adapt soybeans to German climatic conditions and to increase the protein yield....

Collaborative project: Development of antagonistic bacteria for field control of fire blight - subproject 2 (Project)

Fire blight caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora is responsible for significant economic losses in production apple and pears. Control of the disease by application of streptomycin is effective, but problematic for resistance management and from an environmental viewpoint. There is high demand on development of feasible alternatives. ANTAKON project will focus on techniques for antagonist...

GRK 1397 B2: Modelling of ion dynamics in field experiments under different tillage systems (Project)

Goal: Analysis and modelling of the dynamics of Ca, K, Mg, NH4, NO3 and PO4 in agricultural soils with special considerations of texture, tillage and climatic conditions

Collaborative project: Improvement of agronomical traits in narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius - Subproject 2 (Project)

Among the three cultivated lupin species, narrow-leafed lupins are able to fill an agronomic gap especially on medium to light soils in Germany, where white and yellow lupins do not provide for acceptable yields. The project aims at the improvement of anthracnose resistance in narrow-leafed lupin. Main aspects are (i) unlocking genetic resources narrow-leafed lupin, (ii) use of novel, effective...

Collaborative project: Analysis and integration of effective powdery mildew resistances in Triticale - Subproject 2 (Project)

Increasing triticale acreages stimulated the adaptation of powdery mildew populations to the race-specific resistances of most recommended varieties. Our findings indicate that powdery mildew of triticale most probably developed from wheat mildew. The triticale mildew population in Germany is highly diverse as shown by an analysis of 694 isolates from the main growing areas. In seedling tests...

Collaborative project: Barrier System for Avian Influenza in Free-range Poultry Farming – Subproject 2 (Project)

The appearance of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in Europe presents an immense problem for poultry farms, particularly with free-range husbandry. No medical treatment is available, and wide-range culling is enforced by law. As a consequence, HPAI has profound economic impact on both conventional and organic poultry farming. In areas with high risk of HPAI infection, livestock...
