Graduate Research Forum

→Robert Richter: Overview of the Interreg Agri-PV Project (A1-11) – An introduction to the various aspects addressed in the project. A brief introduction to the cross-border Interreg project, its partners from France, Germany, and Switzerland, and the range of issues it addresses—from agronomy to economics and society. →Manuela Pimenta: “What, where, and when: optimizing self-consumption of Agri-PV electricity in viticulture.” Which electricity needs in a wine-growing operation can be met by Agri-PV, at what stage of the production process, and at what time of year? A practical look at how self-consumption rates of Agri-PV-generated power can be optimized across the viticulture industry. A key to success: broad acceptance of Agri-PV in the region. An Agri-PV system only works if the region embraces it. We present the results of a stakeholder survey exploring how different groups—from winegrowers to local authorities—perceive Agri-PV. →Luisa Fruth Experimental design: a spatio-temporal data framework for informed decision-making on Agri-PV as a dual-use system in viticulture.How do we measure what actually happens under and between the modules? An overview of the experimental design that provides spatially and temporally resolved data—the foundation for sound decisions on Agri-PV as a dual land use in vineyards. →Leonhard Pfahl: digi-Spray – optimizing recycling sprayers for sustainable viticulture. How can plant protection in the vineyard become more precise and resource-efficient? A look at digital spray technology and recycling sprayers that reduce pesticide use—and at how these techniques integrate with an Agri-PV system in practice.

Prof. Dr. Jochen Bogs: Overview of projects focusing on new applications: VINE-RES: VINEyard RESilience through agroecological transformation of viticulture driven by varietal change and climate adaptation

Julian Lueck providing an update on current developments and results from must and wine analysis using benchtop NMR

Dr. Patrick Nickolaus provides insights into the analytical challenges of determining residual ethanol in dealcoholized wines

Miriam Jäger and Katharina Kleiner

Dr. Armin Schüttler and Dr. Jochen Vestner report on exciting findings at the interface of sensory science, aroma chemistry, grapevine genetics and modelling.

Lisa Kunz will present results from her extensive investigations and will also make them tangible through a selection of expressive wines.

Prof. Dr. Laura Ehm: Explore what motivates the next generation of wine drinkers, how they perceive wine and branding, and what this means for marketing strategies in the wine sector.

Prof. Dr. Marc Dressler & Prof. Dr. Dominik Durner: Welcome and introduction: "Experimentierfelder Südwest"
Fabian Marnet:"Netzwerk-basiertes Energiecontrolling und -management in der Weinbereitung"
Miriam Jäger & Franziska Fuchs: "Smart-Data statt Schlange stehen: Between gut feeling and smart data - grape logistics today and in the future?"
Lukas Streib:"Winemaking in the digital space - development of a virtual winery"
Matthias Trapp: "Outlook and further work"

Prof. Dr. Laura Ehm

Arvid Hanke: 'Plant Breeding by Gene Silencing (EpiPotato)': Arvid will discuss potential approaches to make sure you get potatoes even if it gets too hot in Germany.

Laura Schütz: 'Genome Editing for RNA interference Genes': Laura has some breaking news that an RNAi enzyme secretly works for the biggest RNAi competitor.

Veli Vural Uslu: 'Epigenetics and Genome Engineering for Plant Protection': Veli will elaborate on his uncertainty about whether it is easier to protect plants, fungi or viruses.

One of the key messages in the presentations of Translational Epigenetic Lab is that the model plants have limitations for developing applications on crop plants.

  • Leonard Pfahl: Agri-photovoltaics, sustainability assessment of wineries, project ideas in viticulture
  • Jonas Waber: Sunburn & secondary infections (FDW project), drought stress & irrigation (DBU project)
  • Prof. Dr. Jochen Bogs, Katharina Weihbrecht: Overview of current research projects on PIWIs (VITIFIT, EPPR (BLE), FUNDUR (DFG), GrapeBreed4IPM (EU), Under-vine cover cropping (FDW project))

Prof. Dr. Maren Scharfenberger-Schmeer

Vincent Knichel - This is a Master's thesis from the Master's program in Viticulture & Enology

Daniel Zimmermann: Website of the research group

Dr. Jochen Vestner, Dieter Klintuch - Jochen Vestner and Dieter Klintuch presented the broad analytical portfolio in the field of aroma research. In particular, they presented two methods for analyzing thiols, which are highly reactive but also very important from a sensory point of view
