Managing nitrogen fertility and stand density for sustaining Kernza intermediate wheatgrass yields

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a promising perennial grain and forage crop, but experiences grain yield decline, potentially due to limited nitrogen (N) and stand overcrowding. We evaluated the effects of N fertilization and stand thinning on grain and forage yield, weed biomass ...

Regenerative Agronomic Approaches: Technological, Biochemical and Rheological Characterization of Four Perennial Wheat Lines Grown in Italy

Agronomy
Cereals are the basis of the human diet, and among them, after rice and corn, wheat is the most cultivated in the world. Drought, conflicts, and high prices affect food security in many countries. The CHANGE-UP project funded by the PRIMA program aims at

Physicochemical Characterization of Whole and Split Perennial Baki Bean Flours

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Perennial grains, such as perennial Baki bean (Onobrychis spp.), offer promising solutions for sustainable agriculture, addressing issues like soil degradation and water quality associated with annual cropping systems. As a perennial pulse derived from sainfoin, Baki can improve soil health and offer a novel source of protein for human ...

Distinguishing Abiotic from Biotic Stressors in Perennial Grain Crops: Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Silphium integrifolium and Thinopyrum intermedium

Agronomy
Perennial grains have been proposed as a soil-healthy alternative to annual grains. Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), whose seed is currently sold under the trade name Kernza®, and silflower (Silphium integrifolium), which is in the early

Thinopyrum intermedium showed a slower establishment phase compared to winter wheat in a controlled environment

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Thinopyrum intermedium is currently proposed as a perennial grain crop benefiting from raising interest through its environmental performances. As a new crop, little attention was paid to the understanding of the eco‐physiological regulations of its growth cycle.

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

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract 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. However, the drivers of root decomposition and C allocation in perennial multifunctional forage‐biomass buffer ...

Root phenotyping and plant breeding of crops for enhanced ecosystem services

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Diversifying and perennializing cropping systems can increase productivity while supporting ecosystem services such as soil protection, nutrient retention, and greenhouse gas mitigation. New crops can help achieve these goals, and advanced computational tools allow plant breeders to rapidly domesticate new crops and select for many traits that

A nuclear phylogenomic tree of grasses (Poaceae) recovers current classification despite gene tree incongruence

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 2, Page 818-834, January 2025.
Summary Grasses (Poaceae) comprise c. 11 800 species and are central to human livelihoods and terrestrial ecosystems. Knowing their relationships and evolutionary history is key to comparative research and crop breeding. Advances in genome‐scale sequencing allow for increased breadth and depth of phylogenomic analyses, making it possible to infer a new

From Forage to Grain: Structural and Functional Changes Occurred During 10 Generations of Transition of Intermediate Wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) to Kernza^®

Grasses
Thinopyrum intermedium (c.n. intermediate wheatgrass), marketed under the trade name Kernza, is a promising species for perennial grain production based on seed size, ease of threshing, resistance to shattering, and grain quality.

Assessing genetic gain in an intermediate wheatgrass improvement program: A retrospective analysis

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 3153-3162, November/December 2024.
Abstract The perennial crop intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] has been under development as a grain crop since 2011 at the University of Minnesota (UMN). Breeding efforts have targeted larger seed size, reduced shattering, and improved threshability, among other traits.
