Identification and characterization of a cystatin-like effector protein from beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and its role in plant-nematode interaction
(2018-01-18)
Sedentary cyst nematodes are of high economic interest as they can cause substantial yield losses in important crop plants. Due to their complex soil-based life cycle and severe restrictions on the application of nematicides ......
Sedentäre Zystnematoden sind von großer Bedeutung, da sie erhebliche Ertragsausfälle in landwirtschaftlichen Kulturen verursachen können. Aufgrund ihres bodenbürtigen Lebenszyklusses und strengen Auflagen bei der Anwendung ......

Consumer acceptance of biotechnology: the influence of product end-use, policy context, and information framing
(2018-06-07)
Consumer acceptance of novel technologies is a prerequisite for market adoption of the derived products. The transition towards a more sustainable bioeconomy in Europe requires product and process innovation that promotes ...
Ready for regrowth: A physiological and metabolic characterization of young sugar beets under temporary drought
(2018-06-18)
Although the sugar beet belongs to the rather drought relevant species, water availability plays a crucial role in terms of plant development and yield formation, hence water deficits can lead to adverse consequences. Aim ...
Genetic dissection of shoot traits and proline content under control and drought conditions in barley
(2018-06-11)
Drought is the most severe threat to world crop cultivation and production especially in water shortage areas. Wild barley diversity contains notable variation in phenotype that is essential for its adaptation to abiotic ...
Studies on transmissibility, cytopathology and control of Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid and Potato spindle tuber viroid
(2018-05-17)
PSTVd and TCDVd have wide host ranges and are able to cause huge economic losses in many high-valued crops in the Solanaceous family. TCDVd has recently been detected to infect many species worldwide, posing the potential ...
Investigation of the feeding process at concentrate feeding stations for horses in group housing
(2018-04-26)
Computer-controlled concentrate feeding stations are increasingly used to guarantee an individual feed supply of group-housed horses. Blocking times caused by horses remaining in the feeding station without concentrate ...
Water Quality in Multipurpose Water Systems, Sanitation, Hygiene and Health Outcomes in Ghana
(2018-03-29)
This thesis examines the interlinkages between water quality, water use, sanitation and hygiene practices, other household characteristics and health outcomes in the context of multipurpose water systems in Ghana. ...
Reactions between nitrite and soil organic matter and their role in nitrogen trace gas emissions and nitrogen retention in soil
(2018-01-22)
As a key intermediate of both nitrification and denitrification, nitrite (NO2-) is highly chemically reactive to soil organic matter (SOM), and it was proved previously that considerable amounts of ...
Investment in health within the agriculture, water, sanitation and hygiene nexus for rural households in Bangladesh
(2018-02-16)
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) related burden of disease is one of the most important aspects of human capital formation. As WASH is a system issue, it needs to be investigated with many other complementary factors ...
The impact of soil water distribution on root development and root water uptake of winter wheat
(2018-04-10)
Root water uptake (RWU) is a key process in the root zone that determines water movement from the soil into roots and transport to the atmosphere via plant leaves. Different RWU models were developed with different assumptions ...
