Plant biomass waste recycling through application of biochar from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC-biochar) on agricultural land as soil amendment and for carbon sequestration (Collaborative project)

In Germany, considerable amounts of plant biomass waste are composted today. In this process, carbon losses are significant resulting in a substantial release of greenhouse gases. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of plant biomass and utilization of HTC-biochar on agricultural land may offer the potential to decrease greenhouse gas emission thereby mitigating climate change. Moreover, addition of...

Lyssavirus Research Network (Collaborative project)

The proposed project uses a hypothesis-driven approach focusing on lyssavirus dynamics and maintenance, virus evolution and diversity, as well as host biology, to afford a significant progress in neglected zoonotic disease prediction and intervention. Understanding natural reservoirs and sources of lyssaviruses as well as the mechanisms these viruses have developed to spill over into...

EVA - Development and comparison of locally adapted production systems for energy crops in Germany (Collaborative project)

Aims to develop renewable energies and incentives for their implementation have opened many farms additional opportunities in recent years in the area of crop production from raw materials. The joint project 'Development and comparison of locally adapted production systems for energy crops' has accompanied this process since its launch in 2005 with a variety of applied problems. The main goal was...

SFB 670: Cell-autonomous Immunity (Collaborative project)

The response of an organism to pathogens proceeds in several steps, beginning with the natural barriers, e.g. the membrane of a plant cell or the skin of the mammalia, followed by the elements of the innate immunity, which enable an early defense reaction. The initial processing of the pathogen non-self antigens in somatic cells as well as the spatiotemporally concerted defense reaction including...
