Genotype‐by‐environment interactions influence grain yields of intermediate wheatgrass

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Crop rotation with perennial grain crops, such as intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium), marketed as Kernza, promotes agroecological intensification and environmental sustainability relative to annual cropping systems. To assess yield performance and adaptability of IWG breeding populations across diverse environments ...

Evaluating Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium) as a Co‐Fermentation Feedstock for Bioethanol Production

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 346-353, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium), a perennial grain developed by the Land Institute, presents a promising alternative to conventional ethanol feedstocks due to its deep‐root systems, low fertilizer requirements, and carbon sequestration potential.

Establishment and Optimization of Genomic Selection to Accelerate the Domestication and Improvement of Intermediate Wheatgrass

The Plant Genome, 2016
Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a perennial species and has edible and nutritious grain and desirable agronomic traits, including large seed size, high grain yield, and biomass. It also has the potential to provide ecosystem services and an economic return to farmers.

A Bayesian information theoretic approach to assessing stomatal conductance dynamics in a perennial agricultural crop

Ecological Indicators
Perennial grain crops have been proposed as a more sustainable alternative to annual counterparts given their potential to replicate natural ecosystem services when managed correctly while requiring less external input than annual agriculture.

Nutritional Quality of Early-Generation Kernza Perennial Grain

Agriculture
Grain from improved varieties of the perennial grass Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey is marketed under the trade name Kernza (common name intermediate wheatgrass, IWG). While a growing body of evidence is available on the nutritional

Root decomposition and nutrient dynamics in multifunctional forage‐biomass buffer‐strip systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Perennial crops are thought as a solution for enhancing food security and providing ecosystem services under a changing climate, including forage‐biomass production, reduced erosion and nutrient leaching, and soil C accumulation.

Comparative life cycle assessment of perennial and annual crop production: impact of farming systems and management practices

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The Intermediate Wheatgrass (IWG) Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey, marketed under the trade name Kernza® has been tested in France with a group of farmers since 2017. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a recognized methodology to

Effects of landscape position on perennial biomass and food crop performance in buffer areas

Ecosphere
Due to the environmental consequences of annual‐dominated cropping systems, there is an increasing need to identify agronomic strategies that incorporate perennial crops. One strategy for increasing perennial cover is through the targeted use of annually
