This Priority Programme aims at the identification of spatiotemporal patterns in the rhizosphere and the explanation of the underlying [...] oral pattern formation in the rhizosphere. At the JKI, the working group of Prof. Kornelia Smalla aims to unravel the spatiotemporal organization of the rhizosphere microbiome of two corn genotypes depending

The workshop will offer a unique opportunity to initiate bilateral projects aiming at developing a hypothesis-driven research framework to gain a better mechanistic understanding of [...] global agricultural production has been tremendously intensified during the last decades. The ultimate aim of higher yields in order to meet rising demands for food, feed and energy has resulted in a number

Since March 2024, the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) has been coordinating a DFG-funded project, which aims to help protect bees in sub-Sahara African countries. For the next 12 months, the Institute for Bee [...] pollinate wild and domesticated plants is the more intensified and constantly changing agriculture.“ The aim of PLAN4BEE is to establish a collaboration network with honey and wild bee researchers, pollination [...] bee communities; land-use characteristics and their influence on bee assemblages. The project also aims to add bee specimens to taxonomic reference collections and databases in the African partner countries

The recently launched project TERTIUS is supported by the [...] other genes derived from rye, which have a negative impact on the processing quality of wheat. The aim of TERTIUS is to overcome this challenge by breaking up the linkage between desired and undesired traits [...] far. Therefore, TERTIUS provides a valuable contribution to international wheat research activities aiming at the development of breeding strategies to achieve food security,” explains the President of the
