The importance of reproductive traits and pollinators for increased use of heterosis in faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
(2024-05-16)The grain legume faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is grown on all continents for its protein-rich seeds, which are used for human and animal nutrition. In recent years, domestic production of protein crops has been supported by ... -
Breeding for Improved Flavour of Fresh Market Tomatoes: Breeders' Sensory Test and Molecular Markers
(2023-12-01)Until recently, flavour was not a primary breeding target in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). However, the poor flavour of tomatoes is a major cause of consumer complains. Flavour results from a complex interaction ... -
Fine-mapping of the major locus for vicine and convicine in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and application of the findings for winter faba bean breeding
(2023-10-18)Presented here is a thesis on a genetic and breeding project addressing the anti-nutritional seed con-stituents vicin and convicin in faba bean. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a traditional grain legume of the Old World; ... -
Improving pea production – Yield and nitrogen content of pea cultivars with different leaf types
(2022-10-27)Pea (Pisum sativum L., 2n = 14) is the most important cool season grain legume in Europe. Peas are mainly used as protein-rich feed for animals as an alternative to soybeans and faba beans. There is a special interest in ... -
Genetic analyses of the resistance of faba beans (Vicia faba) to the fungus Ascochyta fabae
(2022-07-26)Climate warming is a huge challenge for agronomists, although it may offer opportunities to new crops and new types of old crops, such as winter types in so far spring-sown species. In Germany, mostly spring faba beans ... -
Increase of seed oil content in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) by using Chinese genetic resources
(2018-08-16)Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the world’s most important oil crops, and due to a growing demand of vegetable oil for nutritional as well as industrial purposes increasing seed oil content is a major aim for ... -
Selektion von Stangenbohnensorten (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) für den Mischanbau mit Mais
(2018-08-15)The mixed cropping of maize and climbing beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an interesting alternative to the pure cultivation of silage maize, as it potentially combines the high yield performance of maize with the ecological ... -
Site-specific adaptation by natural selection. A case study with lentil.
(2018-04-10)In the context of conservation and use of plant genetic resources, both storage in gene banks (ex situ) and safeguard on-farm (in situ) are important concepts. Increasingly attention focuses on the on-farm management of ... -
Maissorten für den ökologischen Landbau - Unkrauttolerante Maishybriden und blühbiologische Untersuchungen zur Entwicklung offen abblühender Maissorten
(2017-12-21)Contrary to its special suitability as a fodder plant in animal production as well as cash crop, maize has only been cultivated to a very limited extent in organic farming. One reason for the lower cultivation importance ... -
Application of molecular markers in selected breeding material and plant genetic resources of Lolium perenne L.
(2016-01-06)Out-crossing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the most important forage grass species in temperate regions. It is also proposed as a sustainable source of biomass for energy production. However, the improvement ...
