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 required, in terms of both planting and weed control, while reduced tillage improves soil health and ...

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 ...

Optimal Planting Date of Kernza Intermediate Wheatgrass Intercropped with Red Clover
Agronomy, 2021 Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a new perennial dual-use crop for grain and forage with growing interest among farmers. Intercropping IWG with red clover may increase yield and nutritive value through nitrogen transfer.

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.

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.
