Perennials as Future Grain Crops: Opportunities and Challenges
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Perennial grain crops could make a valuable addition to sustainable agriculture, potentially even as an alternative to their annual counterparts. The ability of perennials to grow year after year significantly reduces the number of agricultural inputs ...

Managing for Multifunctionality in Perennial Grain Crops. [PDF]
Bioscience, 2018 Plant breeders are increasing yields and improving agronomic traits in several perennial grain crops, the first of which is now being incorporated into commercial food products. Integration strategies and management guidelines are needed to optimize production of these new crops, which differ substantially from both annual grain crops and perennial ...

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.

Development of Perennial Grain Sorghum [PDF]
Sustainability, 2018 Perennial germplasm derived from crosses between Sorghum bicolor and either S. halepense or S. propinquum is being developed with the goal of preventing and reversing soil degradation in the world’s grain sorghum-growing regions. Perennial grain sorghum plants produce subterranean stems known as rhizomes that sprout to form the next season’s crop.

Roadmap for Accelerated Domestication of an Emerging Perennial Grain Crop [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2020 Shifting the life cycle of grain crops from annual to perennial would usher in a new era of agriculture that is more environmentally friendly, resilient to climate change, and capable of soil carbon sequestration. Despite decades of work, transforming the annual grain crop wheat (Triticum aestivum) into a perennial has yet to be realized.

<i>In planta</i> transformation methods to accelerate the domestication of perennial grain crops. [PDF]
Front Plant SciThe domestication of grasses has historically favored annual species due to their rapid growth and suitability for crop rotation; however, such crops rely heavily on human input. In contrast, perennial grasses, which live for multiple years, offer significant environmental benefits, such as improved soil health and natural resilience to biotic and ...

Perennial Grains in Russia: History, Status, and Perspectives
CropsThe review summarizes the historical and current research on perennial grain breeding in Russia within the context of growing global interest in perennial crops. N.V. Tsitsin’s pioneering work in the 1930s produced the first wheat–wheatgrass amphiploids,
