Collaborative project: Breeding and mass propagation of peat moss in Sphagnum farming to create a sustainable supply of renewable raw material for horticultural growing media. Subproject 4: Optimization of non-axenic mass propagation of Sphagnum seeding material on irrigated fleece (Project)

To reach high yields and thus make Sphagnum farming economically feasible the joint project ‘MOOSzucht’ aims to increase current Sphagnum productivity by 30 % through selection and breeding. Several wild provenances of Sphagnum species (suited for growing media) will be genetically characterized (SSR marker assays) to understand the relationship between and distribution of Sphagnum genotypes....

Collaborative project: Development of breeding material of basil (Ocimum basilicum) with resistance against downy mildew (Peronospora sp.) and with increased tolerance to low temperatures - Subproject 2 (Project)

Downy mildew (Peronospora sp.) on basil (Ocimum basilicum) occurred the last seven years with substantial extent in glasshouses in Germany. The pathogen can spread rapidly within the crop. Pots with infected plants are not marketable what re-sults in a large financial loss for the producers. A chemical control of the pathogen is not possible. The development of a control strategy against downy...

Collaborative project: Identification of the signalling function of secondary metabolites and selection on improved secondary metabolite spectra in the host/arthropod complex lupine/weevil – Subproject 2 (Project)

The impact of insect herbivory on yield in Lupin crops and the extent of infestation by lupin weevils on several Lupinus genotypes were assessed. In addition, functional substances in lupines which influence the behaviour of the specific weevil species Sitona griseus and S. gressorius were identified by using biochemical, ethological and ecological approaches. Results of field experiments showed...

Collaborative project: use of RADOLAN surgery, hourly rainfall totals with radar data on the regionalization of the precipitation parameter in crop protection and plant production - Subproject 2 (Project)

Infections of leaves by plant diseases depend on a high degree on leaf wetness duration. Measured leaf wetness is often not available. An alternative method to obtain information about the leaf wetness is the simulation, using standard meteorological data. Furthermore frequent spatially and temporally limited rainfalls (convective rainfall event) often slip through the meteorological network in...

Benefits by undersown seeds in grain legume pea: weed suppression, symbiotic N2 fixation and preceding crop effects of nitrogen in systems differentiating soil tillage (Project)

Growing pulses provides several benefits soil fertility. Most important is their ability for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and thus their important role for sustainable crop rotations. Loose-soil mulch husbandry (LSMH) and no-plough firm-soil mulch husbandry (FSMH) contribute to soil fertility by erosion control, stabilization of soil structure, and accumulation of soil organic matter. There...

Collaborative project: LEDs in plant illumination systems based on PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) to improve the efficiency of in vitro and in vivo production protocols – Subproject 2 (Project)

The development and testing of LED lighting systems is aiming at lowering the energy demands in climate chambers and greenhouses. LEDs could contribute to the increase of energy efficiency of plant cultures. Results: – Development of innovative methods of illumination by LED for in vitro laboratories as a technique saving energy and to preserve the environment. – Increase of energy efficiency in...

Distribution of quality determining compounds in tart cherries. Part 2: Profiles of plant volatiles in cultivars, wild genotypes and breeding populations as well as their correlation to anthocyanidine profiles (Project)

The substance groups of volatiles and anthocyans are responsible for parameters like flavour, healthy value and processing quality. In analogy to other fruits a genetical relation between these groups is assumed. In part one the high diversity of anthocyan patterns was demonstrated. In the present project the correlation between volatiles and anthocyans has to be examined. Using the plant...

Collaborative project: Identification and functional characterisation of the Co (columnar) -gene in columnar apple varieties as a basis for a systematic use in breeding - Subproject 2 (Project)

This project aimed at the efficient selection of columnar apple varieties as a basis for a new production system. The columnar growth type is an accidentally discovered natural mutation of a single gene and is inherited in a dominant way. It has the potential for a less laborintensive production and thus is economically of high interest. We could with great certainty identify the genomic...
