Vitis Leaf Hair - A new functional trait for sustainable and climate-adapted viticulture - Subproject B (Project)
In contrast to the almost hairless cultivated vine (V. vinifera), certain Vitis species have very densely hairy leaf undersides. Dense leaf hairs hinders the entry of Plasmopara viticola spores into the leaf stomata and reduces water loss through transpiration from these openings on the underside of the leaf. This means that dense leaf hairs lead to biotic (downy mildew) and abiotic (drought)...

Sustainable improvement of animal welfare and competitiveness in milk production through an innovative, market-oriented monitoring and management system based on smardtag® and HERDEplus® (Project)
The aim of the proposed project is to validate, introduce, and implement (bring to market readiness) an innovative system for the automated measurement, analysis, and evaluation of the welfare of dairy cows and the associated presentation of management recommendations for improving animal welfare, animal health, and fertility. This should increase the competitiveness of farmers and the...

Cyclodextrins in Plant-Based Foods: Impact on Functionality and Digestibility (Project)
The research project investigates the nutritional and techno-functional properties of α-cyclodextrin (and, where appropriate, β-cyclodextrin) in the context of food applications. The focus lies on the use of cyclodextrins in plant protein-based foods and their effects on the digestibility of proteins and lipids. Using in vitro models, the study analyzes interactions with digestive enzymes,...

Resilience of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) to climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stressors (Project)
The planned research activities will investigate the interaction triangle between Lactuca lettuce with different resistance and tolerance characteristics to biotic stressors such as phytopathogenic MO and pests, abiotic stressors and the lettuce microbiome. Accordingly, the goal of this project is to increase the resilience of lettuce to biotic and abiotic stressors. We will identify breeding...

Cooperative projekt 'Strengthening Bioenergy-regions - new system solutions (BEST)', work package IO-A4: 'Irrigation' (Project)
Short rotation coppices (SRC) in the German region Thüringer Ackerebene with low precipitation shall be irrigated using biologically clarified wastewater and shall be studied afterwards. We will use the results to establish concepts for an optimized waster water application, to assess the yield surplus through irrigation using models, and evaluate the landscape-ecological impacts of the waster...

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...
