Early Warning System

Digital exchange of information Durch umfassende Einfuhrkontrollen von Warensendungen mit Pflanzen oder Pflanzenprodukten durch die Pflanzenschutzdienste soll der Einschleppung von Schadorganismen vor

Valorization of plant genetic resources

In order to secure agricultural yields in times of climate change under the premises of more sustainability, we need to develop new adapted varieties of our crops. These varieties need to be able to c

Risk Analysis

The Institute examines whether harmful organisms pose a serious threat to Germany or Europe. The analysis is based on international standards, which differ for quarantine pests and RNQPs. For each org

Plant Genetic Resources

The institute evaluates morphological, cultivation-technological, secondary metabolites and resistance characteristics of plant genetic resources in horticultural crops (see also German Genebank Ornam

Breeding methods

The institute develops breeding strategies to improve crop quality and increase yield (link NWG). At the same time, plant tolerance to factors of abiotic stress and resistance to biotic stress are bei

Fruit genetic resources, Fruit Genebank

Since inception of the Dresden-Pillnitz research location, fruit genetic resources have been collected and transferred here from other locations in Germany and abroad. In our fruit genebank, accession

Pre-Breeding

Breeding new crop varieties is complex, cost-intensive and time consuming. At the institute, we search for resistance properties and secondary metabolite profiles in various crop assortments in partic

National reference laboratory

The National Reference Laboratory at the Julius Kühn Institute (NRL-JKI) supports the laboratories of the plant protection services of the German federal states in the diagnosis of harmful organisms a

Phytosanitary Regulations, Standards and Guidelines

A variety of measures is taken in almost all countries of the world to protect against quarantine pests. These include, for example, inspection of plants and plant products during import and export, t

Coordination and Contact Point for Germany and the EU

Phytosanitary (plant health) regulations and measures in the Member States of the European Union are based on the harmonised rules of the Plant Health Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 and the Regulation on O

Risk assessment of genetically modified plants

The cultivation and sale of genetically modified organisms (GMO) are strictly regulated in the EU. Under European law, the release of GMO – currently mainly plants - is subject to a detailed assessmen

Climate adaptation strategies

Climate adaptation strategies aim to reduce both climate-relevant emissions and harmful effects of climate change on production systems, or to exploit positive effects, e.g. by increasing CO 2 levels

Plant raw materials

A current challenge is the transition from a fossil-based economy to a bioeconomy in which fossil raw materials are successively substituted by biobased raw materials. These include specific carbohydr

Resource-conserving crop production systems

For the sustainable and environmentally friendly use of the resources necessary for crop production, it is important to optimally use the means of production, to regulate or limit their use if necessa

Development of trait-linked markers

In modern grapevine breeding, we use marker-assisted selection (MAS). MAS is a very efficient diagnostic method that helps to determine breeding-relevant traits of young seedlings on a genetic level a

Breeding of new varieties

Whether fungal diseases or animal pests, whether climate change or wine quality: JKI grapevine breeding makes a significant contribution to solving open questions and challenges in viticulture. Until

Conservation and characterisation of genetic resources

The characterisation of biodiversity, the determination of varietal authenticity and genealogical research serve to evaluate and conserve varietal diversity. Resource conservation More than 3,000 grap

Physiology of pathogen defence

One of the most important tasks in grapevine breeding is to breed new grapevine varieties with high resistance to fungal pathogens. This is a requirement for ecologically sustainable viticulture with
