After replanting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) on the same site severe growth suppressions, and a decline in yield and fruit quality are observed in all apple producing areas worldwide. The causes of this complex phenomenon, called apple replant disease (ARD), are only poorly understood up to now which is in part due to inconsistencies in terms and methodologies. Therefore we suggest the following definition for ARD: ARD describes a harmfully disturbed physiological and morphological reaction of apple plants to soils that faced alterations in their (micro-) biome due to the previous apple cultures. The underlying interactions likely have multiple causes that extend beyond common analytical tools in microbial ecology. They are influenced by soil properties, faunal vectors, and trophic cascades, with genotype-specific effects on plant secondary metabolism, particularly phytoalexin biosynthesis. Yet, emerging tools allow to unravel the soil and rhizosphere (micro-) biome, to characterize alterations of habitat quality, and to decipher the plant reactions. Thereby, deep insights into the reactions taking place at the root rhizosphere interface will be gained. Counteractions are suggested, taking into account that culture management should emphasize on improving soil microbial and faunal diversity as well as habitat quality rather than focus on soil disinfection.
Die Optimierung von Produktionsprozessen steht im Vordergrund jedes Produzenten, vor allem im Hinblick auf den optimalen Erntezeitpunkt. Zur Pflückreife sollen Kirschen als nicht-klimakterische Früchte eine optimale und hochwertige Fruchtqualität aufweisen, eine ausreichende Anzahl an Erntehelfern, Pflückhilfen, Transportkisten, Sortier- und Lagereinrichtungen sowie Absatzwege vorhanden sein. Aus diesem Grund entwickelten Wissenschaftler in der Vergangenheit diverse Reifeindices und Erntemodelle zur Bestimmung des optimalen Erntezeitpunkts von Früchten, erst an Äpfeln, dann für Steinobst.
Die Freiheit in Forschung und Lehre ist zusammen mit der Wissenschaftsfreiheit eines der bürgerlichen Grundrechte in Deutschland. Aber die Forschungsfreiheit kann nicht grenzenlos sein. Industrie wie akademische Institute müssen ihre Entwicklungen dokumentieren. Nur so ist ein Stoff später für die Vermarktung zulassungsfähig und nur so lässt sich belegen, wer die Urheberrechte daran hat.
For the last 20 years, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in headspace (HS) mode has been used as a valuable sample preparation technique for identifying degradation products in polymers and the determination of residual monomers and other light-boiling substances in polymeric materials. For more than 10 years, our laboratory has been involved in projects focused on the application of HS-SPME-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for the characterization of polymeric materials from many branches of manufacturing and building industries. This article describes the application of this technique for identifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs), additives, and degradation products in industrial rubber, car labeling reflection foil, and bone cement materials. The obtained analytical results were then used for troubleshooting and remedial action of the technological processes as well as for the health protection of producers and users.
