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.

Effect of Nitrogen Treatment on the Physico‐Chemical and Functional Properties Intermediate Wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) Grown in Different Locations

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 1, Page 19-29, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG), a new perennial crop, is being explored for food applications; however, nitrogen application effects on its properties have not been investigated. This study evaluated the effects of applying 90 kg ha−1 of nitrogen in spring or fall seasons on the properties of IWG grown in Minnesota and

Production of dual-use perennial grain Kernza in a humid continental environment

Canadian Journal of Plant Science
Kernza performance was evaluated over 3 years in Quebec to assess how intercropping with legumes and altered precipitation influence grain and forage yields of this novel dual-purpose crop. Grain yields were low and declined sharply regardless of intercropping, while forage yields and quality were generally higher in intercrops and stable across ...

Leveraging high‐dimensional seed colorspace in phenomic selection models for herbaceous perennial crops

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

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 ...

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.
