Genetic architecture and QTL selection response for Kernza perennial grain domestication traits. [PDF]

Theor Appl Genet, 2022
Abstract Perennial grains have the potential to provide food for humans as well as decrease the negative impacts of annual agriculture. Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium, Kernza®) is a promising perennial grain candidate that The Land Institute has been breeding since 2001.

Comparing the Deep Root Growth and Water Uptake of Intermediate Wheatgrass (Kernza®) to Alfalfa. [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2021
Abstract AimsWater is the most important yield-limiting factor worldwide and drought is predicted to increase in the future. Perennial crops with more extensive and deep root systems could access deep stored water and build resilience to water shortage. In the context of human nutrition, perennial grain crops are very interesting.

Malting and Wort Production Potential of the Novel Grain Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium)

Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists, 2022
As the environmental impacts of beer are of increasing concern to maltsters, brewers, and consumers, perennial cereal crops can offer a more sustainable solution. One new cereal species of interest to the brewing industry is intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium subsp.

Soil organic carbon assessment in perennial agriculture - a base study of Kernza in Alnarp, Sweden. [PDF]

Environ Monit Assess
Abstract Increased soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration reduces atmospheric CO 2 and builds soil health. A conversion from annual crops to perennial crops may decrease negative environmental impacts and promote desired ecosystem services.

Intercropping legumes and intermediate wheatgrass increases forage yield, nutritive value, and profitability without reducing grain yields

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
IntroductionKernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a perennial grain and forage crop. Intercropping IWG with legumes may increase the forage yields and nutritive value but may compromise Kernza grain yields.

Origin of current intermediate wheatgrass germplasm being developed for Kernza grain production

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2023
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth & D. R. Dewey) has been developed as a perennial grain crop to provide ecosystem services, environmental benefits, and human food. Grain and products derived from IWG varieties improved for food production have been marketed under the registered trademark, Kernza.

Towards a practical theory for commercializing novel continuous living cover crops: a conceptual review through the lens of Kernza perennial grain, 2019–2022

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
As agricultural scientists rapidly develop and deploy novel continuous living cover (CLC) crops and cropping systems such as perennial grains, a growing number of intermediaries are engaged in advancing the commercialization, adoption, and scaling of ...

Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI-assisted bioinventories of arthropods. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Effect of growing degree days, day of the year, and cropping systems on reproductive development of Kernza in Kansas

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
Reproductive growth and development of cool‐season grasses is primarily driven by air temperature and photoperiod. This study was conducted near Salina, KS, to model the effects of growing degree days (GDD), day of the year (DOY), and cropping systems on
