A SMART breeding approach for high yielding hybrid rye varieties with novel plant architecture as a response to the climate change (Project)

Model calculation on the climate change show that in particular the main growing areas of the rye will be significantly affected by a decreasing summer rainfall as well as rising temperatures. In this project, test cross performance of rye will be assessed to evaluate the extent of water use and nutrient efficiency of hybrid rye can be increased using innovative strategies of selection as well as...

A program that motivates and activates pupils through experience and action-oriented offerings in the forest habitat to develop a natural and climate-protective behavior (Project)

Aktion Wald! – Learning how to read the forest Aktion Wald! (mission forest) is a nationwide programme for schools and other educational facilities. Aktion Wald! offers children and young people the opportunity to discover their personal relationship with the nature surrounding them in a different place of learning – the forest. The forest is a habitat that is familiar to everybody. The programme...

A pan-European infrastructure for quality in nanomaterials safety testing (Project)

Nanoscale objects interact with living organisms in a fundamentally new manner, ensuring that a fruitful marriage of nanotechnology and biology will long outlast short term imperatives. Therefore, investment in an infrastructure to drive scientific knowledge of the highest quality will have both immediate benefits of supporting the safety assessment of legacy nanomaterials, as well as pointing...

A novel approach to investigate effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on ecosystem productivity and greenhouse gas exchange (Project)

The project NITROSPHERE investigates the relationship between atmospheric nitrogen deposition and greenhouse gas exchange of different ecosystems using novel measurement techniques (TRANC). Despite comprehensive investigations in the field of C and N cycling, there is still little knowledge about direct implications of alterations in N deposition on ecosystem productivity and GHG exchange, which...

A novel and integrated approach to increase multiple and combined stress tolerance in plants using tomato as a model (Project)

Tomato is a main EU agricultural commodity, cultivated all over Europe in open and protected field and in glasshouses, representing a biological and agronomical model crop. Combined water and nutrient stress is a major problem for tomato farmers and solutions are needed to safeguard yields, while preserving the environment.The overall goal of TOMRES is to enhance resilience to combined water and...

A new concept for organic tomato breeding (Project)

Despite increasing demand, the cultivation of organically produced tomatoes has come to a standstill in Germany. Leaf mold of tomatoes caused by Passalora fulva has been an increasing problem in greenhouse growing. The seasonal, cost-effective cultivation under plastic foil is particularly affected. Varieties declared to be resistant do not provide a sufficient protection anymore being exposed to...

A new concept for organic tomato breeding (Project)

Despite increasing demand, cultivation of organically produced tomato has come to a stillstand in Germany. Leaf mold of tomatoes caused by Passlora fulva (syn. Fulvia fulva, Cladosporium fulvum) has been an increasing problem in greenhouse cropping. The seasonal, cost-effective cultivation under plastic foil is particularly affected. Varieties which are declared to be resistant so far do however...

A new approach to fertilization and weed control in organic rapeseed production (Project)

Domestic demand for organic rapeseed oil currently exceeds domestic supply. Among the reasons for the gap between demand and supply are low and volatile yields in organic oilseed rape production, pests like the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus), an insufficient nitrogen supply during crop establishment and a widespread weed infestation in autumn. As previous research has shown, early...

A network of national contact points providing cutting-edge NCP services to the knowledge based bio-economy research community (BIO-NET) (Project)

The BIO-NET coordination and support action will provide cutting-edge NCP services to the Knowledge Based Bio Economy research community. It s aim is to reinforce the network of all European organisations that are active as NCPs in Theme 2. BIO-NET will improve the services of Bio NCPs through training and the use of common tools. Based on a thorough SWOT analysis, learning needs will be...
