Selective improvement of intermediate wheatgrass Kernza in terms of productivity: current status and prospects

Feeds and Feed Production
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to generalize the scientific principles and practical approaches to the selection improvement of intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), also known as Kernza, according to a complex of productivity traits, as well as to outline priority areas for further research to increase the efficiency of the selection

Age‐related changes in root dynamics of a novel perennial grain crop

Grassland Research
Background Standing root biomass stocks are larger in the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth and Dewey) than annual spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

SELECTION EVALUATION OF SELF-POLLINATED LINES OF THE KERNZA SPRINKLE-WHEAT HYBRID BY FORAGE PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS

Agriculture and Forestry
The aim of the study was to carry out a selection assessment of self-pollinated lines of the spelt-wheat hybrid Kernza, which is considered one of the promising perennial grain-forage crops, according to the main indicators of forage productivity. The task of the study was to select highly productive and adaptive starting material for further breeding ...

Nematode community structure suggests perennial grain cropping cultivation as a nature‐based solution for resilient agriculture

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Introduction Conventional agricultural land‐use may negatively impact biodiversity and the environment due to the increased disturbances to the soil ecosystem by tillage, for example. Cultivation of the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum

Nutritional and technological values of interest for the development of Kernza (Thinopyrum intermedium) for human consumption

La graminée pérenne Thinopyrum intermedium, commercialisée sous le nom de Kernza®, est testée en France depuis 2017. Son utilisation en alimentation humaine est cruciale pour assurer sa rentabilité. Le but de ce travail est de caractériser la composition du grain et ses propriétés fonctionnelles mais aussi les processus de traitement de la graine post ...
