The improvement of agronomic performances in the cold weather conditions for perennial wheatgrass by crossing Thinopyrum intermedium with wheat-Th. intermedium partial amphiploids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Thinopyrum intermedium (2n=6x=42, StStJrJrJvsJvs) is resistant or tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses, making it suitable for developing perennial crops and forage.

Genetic Architecture and QTL Selection Response For Kernza Perennial Grain Domestication Traits [PDF]

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021
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.

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Adapting perennial grain and oilseed crops for climate resiliency

Crop Science, 2023
AbstractClimate change is threatening the status quo of agricultural production globally. Perennial cropping systems could be a useful strategy to adapt agriculture to a changing climate. Current and future perennial row crop systems have many and varied applications and these systems can respond differently than annuals to agricultural challenges ...

Domestication of Perennial Flax Using an Ideotype Approach for Oilseed, Cut Flower, and Garden Performance

Agronomy, 2019
Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) has recently grown in popularity as a health food due to its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Many undomesticated Linum species possess a similar oil profile, in addition to perenniality, and could, therefore, provide ...

Can perennials plants be used to improve soil health in drought affected Mediterranean regions?

Soil Security
With climate change, drought is expected to intensify in Mediterranean areas, calling for crop system adaptations. Cultivation of perennial grains could address these issues due to permanent cover and ability to enhance soil health while increasing ...
