Knowledge-based measures for sustainable crop protection for long-term maintenance of peronospora resistance in fungus-resistant grapevine cultivars
Leaves with fresh infections of P. viticola will be collected from geographically diverse vineyards of PIWI cultivars at different phenological stages. These isolates are first subjected to basic genetic and phenotypic characterization. Particularly...
Term: 2024-06-01 bis 2027-05-31Grapevine breeding for integrated pest management
ZR is involved in the development of markers and their validation for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to increase breeding efficiency for resistance to black rot and Botrytis (berry skin permeability). Candidate genes for resistance will be proposed...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2028-03-31Strategies for resilient grapevines in a changing climate
In a first step, promising PIWI varieties from project partners of Switzerland, Alsace, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden as well as breeding material from collaborated breeders with high berry skin stability will be selected. Therefore, berry traits...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Improving the selection of climate-resilient grapevine varieties
In preliminary work, plant material was prepared and initial molecular data was collected, which is to be evaluated as part of the project. Two different sets of starting material, which were sequenced with approx. 8x Illumina, are available for the...
Term: 2024-04-01 bis 2027-03-31Predictive Breeding for Wine Quality (Phase 3)
Evaluation of new grapevine cultivars regarding their quality potential is the time limiting factor during grapevine breeding. »SelWineQ« aims at developing robust models and tools to predict wine quality on a genetic and molecular level, leading...
Term: 2023-02-01 bis 2026-01-31Climate resistant grapevine varieties to secure crop yield
The partners will research the response of grapevines to abiotic stresses, like drought stress and heat stress in different approaches with the aim of finding genes or Quantiative Trait Loci (QTL) of interest for high resilience to these abiotic...
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2025-09-30Assessment of the CO2 footprint of wine production for the development of additional climate protection actions for viticulture
The identification of means for higher climate change mitigation potential in viticulture will be facilitated by extensive interviews with wine makers and the generation of a solid database by life cycle analysis and complementary statistical...
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2025-08-31Restart of a national grapevine breeding program in Armenia and the introduction of Armenian Vitis sylvestris into grapevine resistance breeding
Downy mildew is one of the most important diseases in viticulture and requires extensive plant protection to ensure yields. Through breeding, new varieties can be created that have natural resistance to this disease and thus save on pesticides. The...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2025-12-31Artificial intelligence for an innovative yield forecast in grapevine
The plan is to develop solutions for an adapted yield forecast by simultaneously recording the most important, yield-relevant characteristics directly in the vineyard. The aim is to develop methodical-technical innovations and contributions to...
Term: 2021-04-01 bis 2024-10-31Digitalization in the value network Viticulture: From planting to grape delivery
DigiVine will examplary show digital technologie with in the value network of viticulture from planting until grape delivery and test these technologies with users. The interdisciplinary team will support the interaction of research and development,...
