Breeding Perennial Grain Crops Based on Wheat

Crop Science, 2017
Wild relatives offer a diversity of traits potentially useful in crop improvement. Identification of major genes for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in conjunction with targeted introgression, has introduced some of these traits into cultivated varieties. The difficulty of transferring complex traits, and associated linkage drag, has limited

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Rotating perennial forages into annual wheat cropping systems: Correlations between plant available soil and grain mineral concentrations

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
Correlations between plant available soil and grain mineral concentrations are often assumed, yet few studies examine these associations. Here, soil and wheat grain samples were analyzed from a semi‐arid dryland cropping study in the northern Great ...

Discussion: Prioritize  Perennial Grain Development for Sustainable Food Production and Environmental  Benefits            

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Perennial grains have potential to contribute to ecological intensification of food production by enabling the direct harvest of human-edible crops without requiring annual cycles of disturbance and replanting. Studies of prototype perennial grains and other herbaceous perennials point to the ability of agroecosystems including these crops to protect ...

Strength of the connection of kernels with an ear of the trititrigia variety ‘Pamyati Lyubimovoy’ in the dead-rape stage

Зерновое хозяйство России, 2022
The development of new crops (for example, by hybridization) requires significant costs, both resources and time, and therefore justified reasons. The work on the development of trititrigia (perennial wheat) variety ‘Pamyati Lyubimovoy’ has been carried ...

Making Value‐Chain Risks Visible: Extending ENCORE for Systemic Insights

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Businesses in all sectors, including downstream segments, depend on biodiversity and the ecosystem services it sustains, yet firms also exert pressures that accelerate biodiversity loss. The latter generates material risks for both companies and their financial stakeholders.
