Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV, Baculoviridae) is one of the most important agents for the control of codling moth (CM, Cydia pomonella, L.) in both biological and integrated pest management. The rapid emergence of resistance against CpGV-M, which was observed in about 40 European CM field populations from 2003 on, could be traced back to a single, dominant, sex-linked gene. Since then, resistance management has been based on mixtures of new CpGV isolates (CpGV-I12, -S), which are able to overcome this resistance. Recently, resistance even to these novel isolates was observed in CM field populations. This resistance does not follow the described dominant, sex-linked inheritance trait. At the same time, another isolate CpGV-V15 was identified showing high virulence against these resistant populations. To elucidate this novel resistance mechanism and to identify the resistance gene(s) involved, we propose a comprehensive analysis of this resistance on the cellular and genomic level of codling moth. Because of the lack of previous knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of virus resistance in insects, several different and complementary approaches will be pursued. This study will not only give an in-depth insight into the genetic possibilities for development of baculovirus resistance in CM field populations and how the virus overcomes it, but can also serve as an important model for other baculovirus-host interaction systems.
Aim of the assignment was to undertake a feasibility study within the Kirehe 'Community Based Watershed Management Project' (KWAMP) and the 'Project for the Strategic Plan for the Transformation of Agriculture' (PAPSTA) do qualify as CDM projects according to the regulations of the Kyoto protocol. Services provided: Clarification of the additionality for both projects; Determination whether the projects can be implemented as Programme of Activities (PoA); Revision and improvement of technical mechanisms for monitoring, for continued support to the establishment of agroforestry systems, and for sharing monetary incentives with participating farmers; Assessment of the carbon finance opportunities for the planned small-scale biogas fermenters; Development of the Carbon Finance Documents for both projects based on the standard of the BioCarbon Fund of the World Bank.

Der Klimawandel wirkt sich in Deutschland auf die verfügbaren Wasserressourcen und ihre regionale und saisonale Verteilung aus. Zukünftig wird es nicht nur erforderlich sein, die Prognosefähigkeit des Wasserhaushaltes hinsichtlich der verfügbaren Wassermenge regional und saisonal differenziert zu verbessern, sondern auch verbesserte Einschätzungen zur Entwicklung der Wasserbedarfe verfügbar zu haben. Die Wasserbedarfe werden neben politischen Entscheidungen, von technologischen Neuerungen, dem demografischen Wandel und vom Klimawandel beeinflusst. Aufbauend auf den Arbeiten verschiedener Refo-Plan Vorhaben (z.B. WADKlim, EE & Wasser) sowie Arbeiten anderer Institutionen wird die zukünftige Entwicklung von Wasserbedarfen in den Sektoren Haushalte, Landwirtschaft, Energie, Industrie und ggf. weiterer (z.B. Tourismus) zusammengetragen und gemeinsam analysiert. Dabei soll nach Zeithorizont und Region sowie verwendeter Datengrundlage und Methodik kategorisiert werden. Auf der Grundlage dieser zusammenfassenden Darstellung wird zunächst ein strukturierter Überblick über die zur Verfügung stehenden Methoden zur Bestimmung der Wasserbedarfe erarbeitet. Dieser Überblick zeigt die Einsatzbereiche der jeweiligen Methode, verdeutlicht aber auch methodische Grenzen und den geeigneten Zeithorizont. Weiterhin werden auf der Basis der vorangegangenen Arbeitsschritte Szenarien für zukünftige Wasserbedarfe entwickelt. Der zukünftige Wasserbedarf soll abgeschätzt und eventuelle Lücken in der Darstellung der Wasserbedarfe mit Simulationsrechnungen geschlossen werden. Die 'Wasserbedarfs-Szenarien' sollen -vergleichbar zu den Klimaszenarien- mögliche Entwicklungskorridore aufzeigen, verstärkende Effekte des Klimawandels berücksichtigen, Aussagen auf unterschiedlichen Skalen (z.B. national, aber auch regional – evtl. Ebene der Wasserversorgungskonzepte) ermöglichen, die Wirkung von Steuerungsmaßnahmen abbilden sowie die erforderlichen Daten nennen.
The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis infects corn and induces the formation of tumors. In order for the fungus to proliferate in the infected tissue, U. maydis has to redirect the metabolism of the host to the site of infection. We wish to elucidate how this is accomplished. To this end we will perform transcript profiling during the time course of infection for both, the fungus and the maize plant. This will be complemented by metabolome analysis of different tissues during infection as well as by apoplastic fluid analysis. The goals will be to identify the carbon sources taken up by the fungus during biotrophic growth, to identify the transporters required for uptake, determine their specificity and elucidate how these carbon sources are provided by the plant. Fungal mutants affected in discrete stages of pathogenic development will be included in these studies. Likely candidate genes for carbon uptake/supply as well as for redirecting host metabolism will be functionally characterized by generating knockouts in the fungus and by isolating plants carrying mutations in respective genes or by generating transgenic plants expressing RNAi constructs.
In the Bavarian Forest National Park a brief, but intense storm event on 1 August 1983 created large windfall areas. The windfall ecosystems within the protection zone of the park were left develop without interference; outside this zone windfall areas were cleared of dead wood but not afforested. A set of permanent plots (transect design with 10 to 10 m plots) was established in 1988 in spruce forests of wet and cool valley bottoms in order to document vegetation development. Resampling shall take place every five years; up to now it was done in 1993 and 1998. On cleared areas an initial raspberry (Rubus idaeus) shrub community was followed by pioneer birch (Betula pubescens, B. pendula) woodland, a sequence well known from managed forest stands. In contrast to this, these two stages were restricted to root plates of fallen trees in uncleared windfalls; here shade-tolerant tree species of the terminal forest stages established rather quickly from saplings that had already been present in the preceeding forest stand. Soil surface disturbances are identified to be causal to the management pathway of forest development, wereas the untouched pathway is caused by relatively low disturbance levels. The simulation model FORSKA-M is used to analyse different options of further stand development with a simulation time period of one hundred years.
