Genome-based precision breeding of rye for complemtation of key genes governing yield potential of tomorrows climate resilient varieties
In the research project PROMOTE, genome-based precision breeding strategies are used to increase selection efficiency for developing climate-resilient rye. PROMOTE aims to improve desirable or necessary traits and physiological performance that give...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2028-02-29Plant Ecological Genetics - subproject Fitness effects of molecular variants affecting leaf area and economics spectrum of Hordeum vulgare
Barley is characterized by high levels of intra-specific diversity and adaptation to environments both stress-prone and resource-rich, and to environments characterized by all levels of competition. These features, together with the available...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-06-30Potato breeding for stress tolerance and processing suitability for organic farming
This project aims to develop basic material for breeding new varieties for organic farming. To safeguard good yields in organic production, new breeding clones carrying improved tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses are essential. Testing...
Term: 2024-03-01 bis 2029-02-28Strategies for more efficient oat breeding for organic farming
Organic oat production has seen significant growth throughout Germany in recent years, driven by increasing demands for regionally and organically grown oat. As an increasing portion of the oat crop is processed into oat drinks, oat production...
Term: 2024-03-15 bis 2028-12-15Implementation and extension of tools for predictive potato breeding Subproject 1: Genomic diversity and breeding methodology
To validate calibration models previously developed by us for genomic prediction in potato breeding populations, in this project we will generate vast amounts of phenotypic data for up to 750 modern potato clones in multi-environment field trials....
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Methodological Foundations of Diploid Hybrid Potato Breeding
The overall objective of this project is the creation of methodological foundations to optimize breeding for diploid hybrid potato varieties (“DHP”). The transition from traditional breeding of tetraploid clonal varieties towards diploid,...
Term: 2023-06-01 bis 2025-12-31New 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 2026-09-30Identification and characterization of corn-varieties with improved biomass conversion properties as a renewable resource for the chemical industry
Novel maize mutants with different, advantageous lignocellulosic properties have been identified in the first phases of the project. In this phase of the project a European corn diversity panel and newly developed maize hybrids will be screened for...
Term: 2023-07-01 bis 2026-01-31Demonstration network to expand and improve the cultivation and utilization of grain legumes in Germany
It is planned to establish a rapid test for determining alkaloids in lupins. This is intended to support the LeguNet consortium in achieving the project goal and thus promote the cultivation, processing and utilization of grain legumes in Germany....
Term: 2023-01-01 bis 2024-12-31Breeding, 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
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...
