Ready to launch: New projects ensure future viability of the bioeconomy
ID: 1698044
The 3rd funding phase of the ScienceCampus Halle is in the starting blocks and ensures that new collaborative research projects will be conducted in the coming years in the plant-based bioeconomy.
(firmenpresse) - A total of 1.2 million euros has been earmarked for the five research projects. One of the projects already selected is “MAGIC-RESIST”. Here researchers will investigate resistance to rust and fusaria, distinctly harmful fungi. The investigation will center on three pathogens, which will be tracked down using the latest technology. Drone-assisted multispectroscopy, an automated camera system (Macrobot) and a hyperspectral camera will be used. The project promotes close cooperation between Martin Luther University, the Julius Kühn Institute and the business partners Syngenta, KWS, Secobra and RAGT as well as the GFPi. The aim is to achieve a paradigm shift in the breeding of wheat varieties. The project "WOLF" (weed control by biological compounds identifies by necrotizing plant pathogenic funghi) in response to current developments and will investigate destructive, plant-damaging fungi in more detail. The aim is to lay the foundations for biocompatible weed control in order to reduce the use of synthetic chemical herbicides (e.g. glyphosate) in the future. At this year's 8th International Bioeconomy Conference, Dr. Götz Hensel from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research, will present a further project “INDUCEPROT - Induced accumulation of recombinant proteins in plants” in SESSION 3, PLANT PRODUCTIVITY FOR A GROWING BIOECONOMY. The project aims to develop cereals with high-quality proteins.
Highly relevant bioeconomy topics at the 8th International Bioeconomy Conference
At this year's 8th International Bioeconomy Conference, international experts will venture to look beyond the horizons. Prof. Dr. Ludger A. Wessjohann from the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry will open SESSION 2, which will look at the challenges and opportunities within the sugar-based bioeconomy, in keeping with the conference’s focus on South America. Prof. Dr. Reges Heinrichs from São Paulo State University “Júlio de Mesquita Filho” in Brazil will give the keynote speech. One of his main areas of research is the investigation of the enormous potential of sugar cane for the bioeconomy in South America. Another speaker will be Dr. Joachim Venus from the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomys in Potsdam (ATP), who works closely with sugar refineries that are opening up the field for the development of innovative plastic alternatives from biological substances. In SUBSESSION 2, Dr. Markus Lorenz, the plant manager at Südzucker AG, will explain how sugar is also an important raw material for bio-based products in the region of Saxony-Anhalt and Central Germany.
The International Bioeconomy Conference was launched in 2012 and is one of the most important bioeconomy events in Germany. Conference-goers will gain extensive insight into the opportunities and potentials of the bioeconomy, particularly in the region of Central Germany. This year's partner region South America will lend an international flair. The 8th International Bioeconomy Conference will take place on May 13 and 14, 2019 at the Leopoldina in Halle (Saale).

Unternehmensinformation / Kurzprofil:
The ScienceCampus Halle – plant-based bioeconomy and the Cluster BioEconomy are two associations whose stakeholders are working on the basics of the bio-based economy. Both not only are situated in the German Federal State Saxony-Anhalt, but are direct neighbors on the WeinbergCampus of the city of Halle / Saale. The Leibniz-ScienceCampus mainly is working on a bio-economic basic research for agriculture. In the Cluster BioEconomy industrial partners and research institutions are working on bio-based value chains based on renewable raw materials.
The ScienceCampus Halle and the BioEconomy Cluster Central Germany are organizing together the 8th International Bioeconomy Conference in Halle from May 13 – 14, 2019. The motto of the conference will be “Bio meets Economy – Science meets Industry”.
