Molecular Genetic Characterization of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Walnut Genotypes from Montenegro
The project is part of a doctoral research at the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Montenegro, and focuses on the genetic characterization of local walnut genotypes (Juglans regia L.) from different regions of Montenegro. During her research...
Term: 2026-09-22 bis 2026-12-31Strengthening the domestic protein supply by ensuring the protein content of winter wheat under future climate conditions
The specific objectives of the research activity are as follows: 1.) Identification of promising wheat genotypes (including QTLs) for high protein content, baking quality, and protein yields under future climate conditions (particularly elevated...
Term: 2026-04-01 bis 2029-03-31Phytoplasmas in Cereals: Occurrence, Monitoring, and Diagnostic Approaches
Phytoplasma-associated diseases affect many crops worldwide and are an increasing threat to cereals under climate change, which favors insect vectors. Control is limited due to insecticide restrictions, high mobility of leafhoppers, and repeated...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2029-09-30Exchange of heat and drought stress tolerant wheat research technologies in response to climate warming and selection of genetic resources
A collection of wheat genotypes cultivated in Central Europe and South Korea is being studied, supplemented by genebank material in field trials and experiments under controlled growth conditions. For example, transpiration reactions of wheat are...
Term: 2025-11-15 bis 2028-12-31AI-based optimization of selection under drought stress in wheat breeding
The work program comprises three main aspects: 1) The investigation of representative wheat genotypes under controlled conditions in order to draw conclusions about drought stress tolerance. This will be represented in AI models using hyperspectral...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-12-31Network 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 2027-04-30Genetic analysis and modeling of wheat-rust interaction to develop stable, multi-resistant wheat varieties
At 13 locations, 400 observation plots are grown annually. Throughout the project period, results of rust bonitures from multi-site trials are transmitted. In parallel, single-spore inoculations are carried out based on the respective previous...
Term: 2023-09-01 bis 2028-08-31Coordination Unit of the CWR Hotspots
With climate change and species loss on the rise, there is a need to conserve the genetic diversity of wild plants important for food and agriculture in their natural habitat. This enables the conservation of traits that are not present in...
Term: 2024-07-17 bis 2031-12-31Exploiting Cereal Biodiversity in nutrient use and Biological interactions in crop resilience breeding
CerealBio will target root plasticity and functions for improved nutrient/resource uptake (mainly N/P, and less extensively N/water), synergies with the beneficial microbiome, and basal or neighbor-induced genetic resistances to FHB and STB, also...
Term: 2025-07-01 bis 2028-06-30Rapeseed for organic farming - use of adapted evolutionary bulks to improve resource efficiency and climate adaptation
In the project, subpopulations of evolutionary bulks are to be phenotypically investigated. In particular, the root and shoot architecture characteristics are to provide information and key figures in connection with the overall yield, which will be...
