Perennial Grains in Russia: History, Status, and Perspectives

Crops
The 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,

Perennial Grains and Oilseeds: Current Status and Future Prospects

Agriculture
The release of cultivars of two perennial grains is a milestone in perennial grain and oilseed development. Agronomic studies can progress by having stable genetics upon which to conduct research.

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 ...

Nutritional Quality of Early-Generation Kernza Perennial Grain

Agriculture
Grain from improved varieties of the perennial grass Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey is marketed under the trade name Kernza (common name intermediate wheatgrass, IWG). While a growing body of evidence is available on the nutritional

What is the prospect of a perennial grain revolution of agriculture? [PDF]

Global Sustainability
Non-technical summary Agriculture has been dominated by annual plants, such as all cereals and oilseeds, since the very beginning of civilization over 10,000 years ago. Annual plants are planted and uprooted every year which results in severe disturbance

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.

Unraveling the genetic components of perenniality: Toward breeding for perennial grains [PDF]

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, 2022
Social Impact StatementAlthough tremendously successful at feeding humanity, row crop agriculture based on annuals contributes to numerous ecosystem dis‐services, ranging from soil degradation and aquatic eutrophication to greenhouse gas production. In contrast, perennial grain crops (which produce harvests for multiple seasons from single plantings ...

<i>In planta</i> transformation methods to accelerate the domestication of perennial grain crops. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
The 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 ...

Breeding Perennial Grain Crops [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, 2002
Referee: Ms. Peggy Wagoner, Rodale Institute, 611 Siegfriedale Road, Kutztown, PA 19530-9749 One-third of the planet's arable land has been lost to soil erosion in recent decades, and the pace of this degradation will increase as the limits of our food production capacity are stretched.

Progress Towards Perennial Grains for Prairies and Plains [PDF]

Outlook on Agriculture, 2022
Perennial grain crops have been proposed as environmentally sustainable alternatives to annual grain crop systems that currently dominate the world's major breadbaskets. Proponents emphasize the potential of perennial grains to mimic natural systems and thereby reduce soil erosion, nutrient losses, and degradation of soil quality although need for ...
