Greenhouse 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 2025-12-31Determination of ploidy in Taraxacum
In Taraxacum, the ploidy level can increase spontaneously. Knowledge of the ploidy level is essential for successful cross-breeding. Therefore, in the case of Taraxacum acsessions and artificial hybrids, the ploidy level should be determined using...

The objective of this project is to develop optimized cultivation techniques for winter oilseed rape hybrids that have been genomically selected to exhibit greater nitrogen-use efficiency, utilizing a multi-stage approach. The anticipated outcome is...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14Sustainable winter oilseed rape cultivation through breeding improvement of the NUE and optimization of the cultivation system
The project pursues the hypotheses that both the individual factors i) genotype, ii) fertilizer form and iii) sowing technique, but especially a coordinated combination of the factors mentioned, can influence the reduction of N-balance surpluses at...
Term: 2023-08-15 bis 2026-08-14Breeding, 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
In order to achieve these goals, the breeding program will further develop existing breeding material, but existing breeding tools should also be used and new tools will be developed. The focus here lies on promising interspecific hybrids of...
Term: 2023-05-01 bis 2026-04-30Use of extremophile Helianthus species to improve sunflower resilience and ecosystem services
Based on the evaluation of climate-adapted wild relatives, HelEx will develop climate-resistant sunflower lines that reduce the EU's dependence on imported vegetable oils and proteins by switching to sustainable alternatives, mitigate the impact of...
Term: 2023-05-01 bis 2027-04-30Combining Approaches for Photosynthetic Improvement to Allow Increased Sustainability and Productivity in European Agriculture (CAPITALISE)
CAPITALISE will develop new plant breeding tools based on the `MoVaPs to boost the efficiency of photosynthesis in key crops (barley, maize, tomato) to deliver improved yields. The project aims to increase yields above 10 % by relying on marker...
Term: 2021-04-01 bis 2024-11-30Greenhouse gas reduction through innovative breeding advances in alternative plant protein sources
The project aims to promote alternative, plant-based sources of protein as milk and meat substitutes in order to reduce GHG emissions more quickly. It combines practical, classic breeding approaches to develop improved oat lines and new molecular...
