The second edition of the "Mansfeld-Verzeichnis , which is a standard source of information on cultivated plants, deals with c. 4.800 species (without ornamental and forestry plants). Now the third, enlarged edition of the book [HANELT, P. (Ed.), in prep.] is nearly finished. It will be published in English and will contain about 6.000 species of cultivated plants as well as many infraspecific taxa. Parallel to the book edition a database version available in the Internet is being developed. For this purpose the electronic text files of the submitted manuscripts are structured and converted into tables, so that they can be imported into a database. These tasks are part of the BIG project (BundesInformationssystem Genetische Ressourcen), which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology). ...

You would like to know where gene technology has possibly been used on plants and foodstuffs? You will find more information in the TransGen database where there are entries for plants, foodstuffs, ingredients, additives, and enzymes. You can access information about the current status of gene technology for almost all crop plants. You can find worldwide statistics concerning releases of GMO into the environment, and approvals. You can make a picture for yourself, to show the production and processing status of genetically manipulated organisms. At present, the database search is made with a search port in the right-hand sidebar of the project website. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
With support of the The German Centre for Documentation and Information in Agriculture (ZADI) the BVL offers a free-of-charge internet data base. There are two search forms: The "Standard search" contains all criteria in one form. The "Stepwise search" will prompt the criteria in a defined sequence. The latter is especially recommended in case of slow internet access. The online data base is available in German language only. (...) Plant protection products may be authorised for certain crop species, or a list of several crop species, or for crop groups (sometimes with exceptions). Crop species and groups form a hierarchical structure. When searching in the online database these hierarchical relationships are automatically considered. Thus the search for „wheat“ will find also products authorised for „cereals“ as well as products authorised for „winter wheat“ or „summer wheat“. Note: It is strongly recommended if searching for crops then also to select a field of use (and maybe a function). (...) The result of the search is at first a list of products which fulfil the selected criteria. A click on a trade name opens a data sheet containing general information on the product, whereas a click on an authorisation number leads to a list of the uses of that product. ...

World Economic Plants in GRIN is based on "World Economic Plants: A Standard Reference" (John H. Wiersema and Blanca León 1999). This publication provides essential reference data in a concise and readily accessible format for over 9,500 vascular plants of commercial importance in various parts of the world. It makes available to both scientists and nonscientists up-to-date scientific names for economically important vascular plants. It includes information garnered during more than two decades of nomenclatural research on economic plants by taxonomists of the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ARS). ...

The Internet portal gmo-safety.eu provides up-to-date clear and intelligible information about current and past biosafety research into genetically modified plants in Germany. The focus is on projects supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The sections ‘Maize’, ‘Grain’, ‘Potatoes’, ‘Oilseed rape’, ‘Woody plants’, ‘Monitoring’ and ‘Gene transfer’ provide comprehensive basic information about the key BMBF-funded research areas. A database with summaries of research topics, methods and results (‘Database’) is supplemented by exciting insights into the everyday working lives of researchers (‘Science live’), background reports on individual topics (‘Focus’) and news stories on everything to do with biological safety research both in Germany and at international level (‘News’). The ‘Debate’ section is designed to enliven the discussion about green genetic engineering by offering new perspectives and surprising points of view – this section regularly presents interesting texts on scientifically and socially relevant topics. There is also a glossary with key terms, a photo database and a schools portal (German only) with suggestions for teachers. ... [Information of the supplier]

The aim of the BUKO Campaign against Biopiracy is to make the political, social and economical components of biodiversity public. It criticises the way in that biological diversity is only discussed as a topic in conservation. This disguises the fact that it is being appropriated by multinational concerns, in conjunction with government research institutes. This is biopiracy. This rejection is accompanied by a radical critique of north-south relations as well as global capitalism, its forms of domination and power structures. The campaign aims to build resistance against biopiracy as well as discuss and support social alternatives. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
1923 wurde an der damaligen Landwirtschaftlichen Hochschule in Berlin-Dahlem ein Institut für Bienenkunde gegründet. Nach der Teilung Deutschlands und Berlins wurde das auf Westberliner Territorium gelegene Institut von der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Ost) abgetrennt und der Technischen Universität Berlin (West) zugeordnet. 1952 baute die Humboldt-Universität als Ersatz in Hohen Neuendorf bei Berlin die Abteilung Bienenkunde und Seidenbau des Instituts für Geflügel- und Kleintierzucht auf. Bienenforschung und Bienenhaltung sind mit diesem Standort seitdem fest verbunden. 1970 wurde am Hohen Neuendorfer Standort die Forschungsstelle für Bienenwirtschaft gegründet. Nach Auflösung der Lehr- und Forschungsanstalt für Bienenzucht in Tälermühle (Thüringen) wurden Teile dieses Instituts nach Hohen Neuendorf verlagert und mit Teilen der Abteilung Bienenkunde vereinigt. 1992 erfolgte die Gründung des Länderinstituts für Bienenkunde Hohen Neuendorf durch das Agrarministerium des Landes Brandenburg. Es wird durch die Bundesländer Berlin, Brandenburg, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen projektgebunden gefördert. Schwerpunktthemen: Züchtung gegen Varroatose, Honigforschung, Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der Bienen als Umweltfaktor, Hochschullehre und imkerliche Beratung. ...
