Unraveling the genetic components of perenniality: Toward breeding for perennial grains [PDF]
Plants, People, Planet, 2022 Social Impact Statement Although 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.

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.

Nature-based agricultural solutions: Scaling perennial grains across Africa. [PDF]
Environ Res, 2017 Modern plant breeding tends to focus on maximizing yield, with one of the most ubiquitous implementations being shorter-duration crop varieties. It is indisputable that these breeding efforts have resulted in greater yields in ideal circumstances; however, many farmed locations across Africa suffer from one or more conditions that limit the efficacy of

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.
