Old houses – new desires? Rural housing also beyond the owner-occupied home (Project)
The image of rural housing is dominated by owner-occupied homes. In reality, also here rental and multi-story apartments meet the housing needs of a variety of households, both among long-term stayers and in-migrants. Housing in rural areas has been insufficiently studied. There are hardly any current nationwide studies neither on the structure of the housing markets (supply) nor on the usage and...

Reducing the amount of nitrate/nitrite added to meat products: Challenges and possible solutions (Project)
Potassium and sodium nitrite (E 249, E 250) as well as sodium and potassium nitrate (E 251, E 252) are authorised substances in accordance with EU Regulation (EC No. 1333/2008), which contribute significantly to organoleptic properties such as colour (colour development and retention) and the development of characteristic flavour profiles. Nitrate and nitrite also have an antioxidant effect and...

Sensor-based high-throughput evaluation of breeding material in the field (Project)
One of the tasks of grapevine breeding is to contribute to the preservation of viticultural cultural landscapes by developing robust and climate-adapted varieties. New grape varieties must have a strong resistance to pathogens, pests, and abiotic factors such as heat, while maintaining consistently high wine quality. During the breeding process, molecular markers are already used for early...

DNA-based biomarkers of nutrition (Project)
Metabolites in blood and urine are known biomarkers for nutrition and are being further improved, for example, in the PlantIntake project (MRI-PBE-08-2022-7). The methodology for DNA-based analysis of the gut microbiome ("metabarcoding") from stool samples is well established at the institute and can be used with minor modifications to detect other organisms such as fungi and plants. The...

Black rat resistance in practice (Project)
In collaboration with LAVES Lower Saxony, genetic rodenticide resistance in house rats from Lower Saxony is being investigated. This information is necessary and important for effective and sustainable management as well as for determining the risk posed by house rats and is important for the public, veterinary offices, health authorities and research.

Quinoa for future diversified agricultural systems (Project)
Orphan crops like quinoa have a great potential to increase the resilience of future agricultural systems and contribute to agrobiodiversity. Quinoa is of great interest for cultivation in Germany because of its highly nutritious grain and stress tolerance. A market and a value chain already exists for this crop in Germany, but production based on currently available varieties can not compete...
