        RNAi for Plant Improvement and Protection

        by Bruno Mezzetti, Jeremy Sweet, Lorenzo Burgos

        RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed.

        »Mein lieber Brüdi!«

        Briefwechsel mit seinem jüngsten Sohn Martin

        by Hermann Hesse, Gunnar Decker, Martin Hesse, Martin Siegenthaler, Sibylle Siegenthaler-Hesse, Hanspeter Siegenthaler, Matthias Siegenthaler

        Brüdi – so wurde Martin, der jüngste Sohn Hermann Hesses, von der Familie genannt. Als Hermann Hesse im April 1919 seine Familie verließ, um im Tessin auf der Südseite der Alpen ein ungebundenes Leben zu führen, kamen seine drei Söhne zu Pflegefamilien oder ins Heim. Ein Schock vor allem für Martin, gerade sieben Jahre alt. Wie Hesses erste Ehefrau Mia, die wegen einer manisch-depressiven Erkrankung immer wieder in Heilanstalten war, litt Martin unter dieser psychischen Erkrankung, die letztlich wohl auch zu seinem Freitod 1968 führte. Der 1919 beginnende und sich bis zu Hermann Hesses Tod 1962 fortsetzende Briefwechsel ist das eindrucksvolle Dokument einer Annäherung von Vater und Sohn, der Versuch, verlorenes Vertrauen mittels Briefgespräch neu herzustellen. Hier findet Hermann Hesse nach und nach zu seiner anfangs verweigerten Vaterrolle. Immer offener sprechen Vater und Sohn von ihren unerfüllten Hoffnungen und wachsenden Lebenszweifeln. Martin, der künstlerisch begabteste und zugleich labilste der Söhne, der Fotograf wird, gesteht: »Ich bin viel in der Dunkelkammer, mehr als mir lieb ist.« Martins Fotos des Vaters, über Jahrzehnte entstanden und zu Ikonen geworden, bezeugen wiedergefundene Nähe. Der Briefwechsel ist nicht nur in biografischer Hinsicht ein Ereignis. Denn im Gespräch beider entsteht zugleich eine Alltagsgeschichte der Schweiz von 1919 bis 1962.

        The degradation of land and water resources resulting primarily from agricultural activities has had enormous impact on human society. In order to alleviate this problem an advanced understanding of the state of our resources and the process of degradation is needed.
