The main goal of the DiPisum project is to bundle the existing strengths from the region and to open up innovations from the fields of digitization, genomics, breeding, plant cultivation and food industry for the pea crop of the future in order to...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2028-12-31Winter Lentil Genetic Resources to breed winter lentils for mixed cropping
WP1 Screening of genetic resources: Various data sources will be used to predict winter hardiness of gene bank material from passport (collecting site) or characterization data (morphological markers). At four locations, selected gene bank and...
Term: 2023-09-01 bis 2026-12-31Strengthening resilience of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in organic production to climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stressors through microbial action.
Depending on the weather, diseases such as, B. lactucae and G. cichoracearum, as well as the aphid N. ribisnigri, which specializes in lettuce, occur. These cannot be controlled in organic farming by means of synthetic chemical pesticides and...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Accelerating Crop Genetic Gain
In this international research training group (IRTG), interactive research projects will work (i) to further develop methods and approaches to integrate large multidimensional datasets from pangenome sequences, innovative phenotyping technologies,...
Term: 2023-04-01 bis 2028-03-31Wheat source-sink relationships and limitations - Detailed temporal and physiological dissection of limitations to water and nitrogen uptake efficiency (Subproject 2)
A better understanding of the molecular and physiological processes of yield development in relation to source-sink interactions is essential to target yield-limiting factors through breeding and crop management. To this end, the following...
Term: 2023-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Improvement of stone bunt and dwarf stone bunt resistance in bread wheat by systematic use of genetic variation.
In order to identify unknown resistances from genetic resources in addition to effective already known resistances, artificial inoculation will be performed under controlled conditions. Thus, after using isolates known to overcome known BT...
Term: 2023-09-01 bis 2028-08-31Genomics-based exploitation of wheat genetic resources for plant breeding
We will extend the molecular atlas of wheat accessions of the IPK ex situ genebank with wild relatives and sequence two genotypes de novo as a contribution to international initiatives. Using the Macrobot platform, new resistance loci to powdery...
Term: 2022-11-01 bis 2025-10-31Analysis and utilization of genetic resources for organic winter barley breeding with focus on resistance to flying blight (Ustilago nuda).
A basic requirement for repeated seed propagation of barley varieties under organic growing conditions is a high resistance to the seed-borne disease fly blight. Already an infestation of more than 5 or 3 ears per 150 m² leads to a withdrawal of...
