DFG Priority Programme: Rhizosphere Spatiotemporal Organisation – a Key to Rhizosphere Functions (SPP 2089)
Nutrient and water transporters actively shape spatiotemporal rhizosphere organization processes in maize
The main goal of this DFG-funded project is to identify and characterize the role of maize root hair properties in rhizosphere organizational processes, ensuring maize seedling establishment under single or combined water and/or nutrient [B & P] deficit and as a function of soil texture and compaction, in line with the overall PP2089 objectives.

BayKlimaFit 2 – Strong plants mitigating the impact of climate change
Efficient use of water and boron in rapeseed and maize
The main goals of this BayKlimaFit 2 project are to make targeted plant boron/water efficiency mechanisms available for breeding strategies and to identify parameters for an optimized boron fertilizer management in the field in order to ensure healthy root and shoot development in early summer, even in climate-limiting conditions such as water limitations or drought stress.

BayKlimaFit 2 – Strong plants mitigating the impact of climate change
Stress resistance through symbiosis with fungi
The BayKlimaFit 2 project aims to characterize diverse maize lines in order to find genotypes, which respond particularly well to arbuscular mycorrhiza, and to understand the genetic ground rules of these processes. This should provide a basis for breeding of symbiosis-optimized maize varieties.
