Legume Generation - Boosting innovation in breeding for the next generation of legume crops for Europe
Our goal is to invest in innovation that improves the breeding of legumes in Europe to support the EU biodiversity and farm to fork strategies. Innovation is about taking risks to change how things are done. Our project is structured and focused to...
Term: 2023-06-01 bis 2028-02-28Development of high yielding and resistant Prebreeding lines for yellow lupin (L. luteus)
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-09-30Resource-efficient production of high-quality proteins and fibers from narrow-leaved bitter lupins for (vegan) human nutrition
LuproCess aims to obtain high-quality, largely native and functional protein and fiber fractions from narrow-leaved bitter lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) for human nutrition. In the previous work of the consortium, it could be shown that the...
Term: 2023-10-15 bis 2026-10-14Evaluation of genetic resources of narrow-leafed lupin
Field tests of genetic resources at two locations Dyngby in Denmark and Groß Lüsewitz in Germany) will be performed to hopefully detect novel genetic variability for agronomic traits in narrow-leafed lupin. Selected entries will be used as...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2025-03-01Optimizing the potential of half-dwarfs in rye for increasing the climate protection performance of cereal crop rotations.
PRoKlima closes a knowledge gap with regard to the reaction of half-dwarfs to different seed sizes in order to optimize rye production and reduce GHG emissions. In addition, PRoKlima leads to an acceleration of the development and provision of this...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-12-31Greenhouse 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...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2024-12-31Examination of breeding material and variety development in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) using genome-wide diversity and association analyzes
The scientific and technical objectives of the planned project are in detail the phenotyping of a range of genetic resources, varieties and breeding material (~ 150 accessions) over several places and years. Relevant properties such as grain yield,...
Term: 2023-05-01 bis 2026-04-30Sensor-based breeding of high performance soybean cultivars with improved drought tolerance
For a further increase of soybean cultivation in Germany, yield performance should be improved. Furthermore, cultivars with an improved tolerance to abiotic stress should be released to the market. For this, it is necessary to create improved...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2026-02-28Utilisation of genetic resources of narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) to secure low alkaloid content for feed and food usage
In order to achieve the project goals, various innovative breeding approaches are pursued: (1) Conducting a genome-wide association study using a genetically diverse set of alkaloid-rich and poor genetic resources (PGRs, varieties, breeding lines),...
Term: 2023-03-15 bis 2026-03-14Climate Resilient orphan Crops for increased diversity in Agriculture
CROPDIVA will reinforce agrobiodiversity in European agricultural cropping systems on different levels and along distinct geographic and socio-economic areas, thus resulting in resilient food and feed production systems that deliver safe and healthy...
