Zentrales Projekt (ZP): Design und Implementierung von Experimenten, Datenhub und Synthese der Ergebnisse

The central project (ZP) operates through six interconnected work packages that are fundamental to the success of the Research Unit. Overall, the ZP will continuously integrate findings from experiments and crop growth modelling through collaboration across all its work packages, especially through is WP6, and in close collaboration with SP6, drawing on the data and insights from all other SPs.  This iterative process will culminate in several joint overarching key publications across SP boundaries.

Zentrales Projekt – Detaillierte Beschreibung

Das ZP besteht aus sechs Arbeitspaketen, die jeweils darauf ausgerichtet sind, alle anderen Teilprojekte der Forschungsgruppe zu unterstützen:  

  • WP1 liefert das experimentelle Design, sowie Unterstützung bei der statistischen Auswertung aller Felddaten der Zentralexperimente (CE) und der Diversitäts-Screeningexperimente (DS).
  • WP2 und WP3 koordinieren und synchronisieren die zentralen Experimente in Deutschland und Kenia. Sie stellen die standardisierten experimentellen Plattformen für die Nutzung durch alle Teilprojekte bereit.
  • WP4 führt eine 2-jährige Evaluation der im Gewächshaus (in DS a) entwickelten experimentellen Hybride im Feld (DS b) durch – in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zu den Zentralexperimenten unter Trockenhäusern.
  • WP5 führt zielgerichtete und nichtzielgerichtete Metabolomik durch und liefert damit zentrale biochemische Daten, die genetische Informationen mit der Leistungsfähigkeit bzw. Ökophysiologie der Maishybride auf Feldebene verknüpfen.
  • WP6 implementiert einen umfassenden Datenmanagementplan und etabliert klare Verfahren sowie Rahmenbedingungen für die Datenerhebung, -verarbeitung, -speicherung, und Datenaustausch.
