Network for the conservation and promotion of the adaptability of crops
The aim of the project is to develop a method for preserving and utilising barley that was originally intended for wheat. To this end, new structures are to be created that complement the existing storage in gene banks. The idea behind this is to...
Term: 2022-07-01 bis 2027-04-30Greenhouse gas reduction through innovative breeding advances in alternative plant protein sources.
The focus of this project is on indigenous crops as an alternative to proteins (milk and meat) from animals. The aim is to analyze the market-relevant as well as socio-economic impact of an increase in plant-based protein drinks (oat/soy milk) as...
Term: 2022-11-01 bis 2025-10-31Studies on the Use of Aircraft in Crop Protection
Conducting drift measurements according to an internationally coordinated measurement protocol to generate drift benchmark values for the use of plant protection products and, if applicable, biocides with aircraft (drone and helicopter). Developing...
Term: 2024-10-01 bis 2029-12-31Harnessing the unexplored Diversity of rye by genome-based Breeding for a climate-resilient grain
The JKI Institute for Resistance Research and Stress Tolerance will lead WP4.5 to establish a haplotype signature and evaluation of quantitative rust-resistance resistance genes. As a contribution to international efforts towards the creation of a...
Term: 2024-11-01 bis 2028-10-31Resistance analyses of wild potatoes and backcrossing populations with natural Colorado potato beetle infestation in field trials
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are an important source of food and raw materials for humans. However, insect pests such as the Colorado potato beetle cause enormous losses in crop yield and quality. The control of the Colorado potato beetle is...
Term: 2024-04-15 bis 2026-12-31Greenhouse gas reduction through innovative breeding advances in alternative plant protein sources- subprojects carbon footprint and value chain analysis
The sub-projects "CO2 footprint and value chain analysis" aim to estimate climate protection potentials and investigate the socio-economic effects (benefits and costs) of plant-based protein sources as a substitute for animal sources along the value...
Term: 2022-11-01 bis 2025-10-31New approaches to Globodera pallida resistance breeding in starch potatoes and in-depth analytical methods
The aim of this project is to identify and characterise resistance to avirulent Pa3 (Chavornay) populations of G. pallida as well as virulent "new" populations (Oberlangen) from genebank accessions of wild and primitive forms of potato and to utilse...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30New approaches in Globodera pallida resistance breeding for starch potatoes
Potato starch is a versatile commodity and forms an integral part of the German national bioeconomy strategy. Due to low merit for transportation of the tubers, starch potatoes are produced on land located around existing starch factories. This...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Testing the efficacy of plant extracts from the potato peel against phytopathogenic fungi
To protect itself from harmful organisms, the potato plant produces a large number of bioactive substances. These are mainly formed and stored where there is contact with harmful organisms, such as in the potato skin. Such skin metabolites can...
Term: 2022-08-01 bis 2026-12-31Breeding, cultivation and utilization of Russian dandelion (Taraxacum koksaghyz) - further development of a wild plant into a renewable industrial raw material - breeding methods and characterization of interspecific hybrids
n order to achieve the goals, existing breeding material should be further developed within the framework of breeding, but existing breeding tools should also be used and new tools developed. The focus here is on promising hybrid hybrid plants of...
