Understanding environmental adaptation in intermediate wheatgrass

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grain crop that offers many environmental benefits through extensive root systems in addition to food production. IWG's distribution across broad environmental gradients in Eurasia provides a model system for studying climate adaptation genetics essential for developing ...

Reaction of Five Non-cereal Grasses to Five Races and Two Host Selective Toxins of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2015
Alternative hosts increase the difficulty of disease management in crops because these alternate hosts provide additional sources of primary inoculum or refuges for diversity in the pathogen gene pool.

Rapid improvement in soil health following the conversion of abandoned farm fields to annual or perennial agroecosystems

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Incorporating perennial crops into agroecosystems has been shown to mitigate soil degradation and improve soil health by enhancing soil aggregation and soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual.

Effects of uncrewed aerial vehicle–applied triclopyr plus fluroxypyr rates on weeds and desirable forbs in Kansas tallgrass prairie

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract We studied the impacts of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)‐applied triclopyr + fluroxypyr on rangeland weeds and other forbs in native tallgrass prairie. Two rates were tested: high (0.63 kg ae ha−1 triclopyr + 0.21 kg ae ha−1 fluroxypyr) and low (0.21 kg ae ha−1 triclopyr + 0.07 kg ae ha−1 fluroxypyr).

Land‐use effects on soil moisture profile dynamics in a restrictive claypan soil

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Claypan soils of the Central United States are characterized by restricted drainage and a sharp increase in clay content with depth. This results in soil moisture profiles that vary in total water content and in how moisture is distributed across depths.

Effects of seeding date on grain and biomass yield of intermediate wheatgrass

Agronomy Journal, 2022
AbstractIntermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) (IWG) is a perennial grass being domesticated for grain production with potential to provide economic return and ecosystem services across a broad geographic range in North America, yet optimum seeding dates for grain and biomass yield are unknown.

Predictive models of seed yield in intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium): The added value of a time series of multispectral imagery in semiarid environments

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Accurate estimation of seed yield in perennial grains like Thinopyrum intermedium (intermediate wheatgrass [IWG]) remains a challenge due to high interannual and spatial variability of this important trait. We evaluated the potential of before‐harvest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices to predict IWG seed ...

Evaluation of Four Intermediate Wheatgrass Populations under Grazing

Agronomy Journal, 1995
AbstractThe grazing season in the central and northern Great Plains could be extended by use of adapted cool‐season grass pastures for spring and fall grazing to augment the native warm‐season range. A grazing trial was conducted to evaluate the forage quality of four intermediate wheatgrass [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkw. & D.R.

Selection for agronomic traits in intermediate wheatgrass increases responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Agricultural practices have had a negative impact on the physical, chemical, and biological components of soil. Perennial cropping systems that facilitate positive soil microbial interactions could not only rebuild soils but ...

Forage harvest intensification improves feed nutritive value without reducing grain yields in organic Kernza

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Managing Kernza [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & Dewey] as a dual‐use crop for grain and forage has potential to improve economic viability, particularly in organic systems where premiums and diversified outputs can enhance profitability.
