Term: 2021-12-01 bis 2025-06-30Development and exploitation of the first resistance to premature leaf fall disease (pathogen: Diplocarpon coronariae) for use in apple breeding using new sequencing technologies
The cultivated apple is the most important fruit species in Germany. Cultivation is affected by problems due to both the elimination of pesticides and changing climatic conditions. One of these problems is premature leaf fall (Diplocarpon...
Term: 2023-03-01 bis 2026-02-28Breeding apple cultivars with resistance to climate-related stresses
German apple production is facing a variety of challenges. Sustainable production or even ecologization of agriculture and resilience to the effects of climate change are just some of the demands that growers have to face, in addition to growing...
Term: 2023-04-01 bis 2026-09-30Evaluation and supply of resistant cultivars to premature leaf fall (D. coronariae) for meadow orchards in Germany
In recent years, in addition to commercial fruit growing, there has also been an increasing interest in the cultivation and utilization of fruit from meadow orchards. Scattered fruit still characterizes our landscape and, in addition to its cultural...
