Safety of RNAi technology in plant protection: Method evaluation for estimating effectivity and potential impacts on target and off-target organisms
"RNAi_safe" follows a methodical approach to answer open questions of the use of novel RNAi technology in plant protection. Central points of the project are: Detection and evaluation of potential exposure pathways and effects of dsRNA-based plant...
Term: 2022-01-01 bis 2026-02-15Re-establishment of tissue culture methods and molecular breeding techniques for forage legumes
Based on the experience from previous and current projects, the LeGO! project is structured in six work packages. A superordinate work package deals with the establishment of tissue culture of the forage legumes red and white clover, lucerne and...
Term: 2023-12-01 bis 2026-11-30Efficiency of transient production of recombinant proteins by modification of the host plant
Internationally, molecular farming methods have been established that rely on the use of transgenic plants (e.g. tobacco) as a production platform for foreign proteins using transgenic vectors (plasmids, viruses). The genetic modifications also...
Term: 2019-01-02 bis 2026-12-31Uncovering the function of LysM-receptor and -effector proteins in the formation of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between poplar and Laccaria bicolor
The aim of the project is to investigate the pathogen resistance and mycorrhization potential of the energy crop poplar. For the JKI partner, the focus is on the symbiotic interaction with mycorrhizal fungi. The aim is to investigate signaling...
Term: 2020-05-01 bis 2025-12-31Evaluating current winter wheat cultivars and genetic resources in a uniform sowing system
In Germany, cereals are sown by drill sowing. In this process, the seeds are placed more or less randomly in rows. As a result, the plants that develop from them have little space within a row, while there is plenty of space between the rows, for...
Term: 2018-06-01 bis 2026-12-31Development of improved methods for annotating protein-coding genes
Rapid improvement in sequencing technology has led to a significant reduction in sequencing costs and an increasing number of sequenced plant genomes in recent years. While genome assembly is highly automated and yields genomes with high quality,...
Term: 2015-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Detecting introgressions in crop plants using NGS data
To increase diversity or establish resistance and tolerance to biotic or abiotic stressors, breeding involves crossing between different but related species. This can also occur naturally. In this process, DNA can be transferred from one species to...
Term: 2018-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Dandelion Rubber goes industrial 2
In the ongoing research project RUBIN 2, a cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology, strategies for weed control in Russian dandelions are to be developed over a period of five years. The focus is on...
Term: 2020-03-01 bis 2025-03-31Combining Approaches for Photosynthetic Improvement to Allow Increased Sustainability and Productivity in European Agriculture
CAPITALISE has identified important physiological responses and traits that offer prospects for improving photosynthetic performance in order to open up new yield potential for European plant breeding. The strategies include the optimization of CO2...
Term: 2020-04-01 bis 2024-11-30Development and assessment of new site directed nucleases (SDN)
The basic mechanism and efficiency of site directed nucleases is evaluated in different model and crop plants. The aim of this project is to analyse the impact of the genomic location, different genome background on the efficiency of Genome Editing...
