Perennial cereal crops: An initial evaluation of wheat derivatives
Field Crops Research, 2012This study evaluated over 150 wheat x wheatgrass derivatives in a series of field experiments. The objective was to assess their capacity to regrow post-harvest and yield grain over successive years, and thereby identify characteristics common to the surviving breeding lines.

The uptake and transport of silicon by perennial ryegrass and wheat
Plant and Soil, 1987In experiments with perennial ryegrass and wheat, silicon (Si) concentration in flowing solution culture was maintained constant at 0, 10 and 20 mgl−1 (ryegrass) or 0, 20 and 40 mgl−1 (wheat). Uptake and transport were measured in both species at frequent harvests over periods of up to 80 days.

Plant Breeding, 2020
AbstractSince wheat and other annual cereal crops are often harvested for forage instead of grain in California, replacing them with perennial crops could save energy and reduce the release of heat‐trapping gases. To assess the potential for perennial crops based on wheat, biomass yield and stand persistence were studied for nine wheat×wheatgrass ...

Perennial wheat: a review of environmental and agronomic prospects for development in Australia
Crop and Pasture Science, 2010Perennial wheat could improve grain production systems in Australia by rectifying many environmental problems such as hydrological imbalance, nutrient losses, soil erosion, and declining soil carbon and soil health. There are also potential direct production benefits from reduced external inputs, providing extra grazing for livestock in mixed farming ...

Root and shoot growth by seedlings of annual and perennial medic, and annual and perennial wheat
Crop & Pasture Science, 2011Perennial plants such as lucerne are now widely acknowledged as one means of controlling the expansion of dryland salinity in southern Australia. However, their inclusion in farming systems is limited by poor seedling vigour, thought to be associated with greater allocation of biomass to perennating organs in roots, and poor adaptation to some soils ...

Introgression of perennial growth habit from Lophopyrum elongatum into wheat
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020A locus for perennial growth was mapped on Lophopyrum elongatum chromosome arm 4ES and introgressed into the wheat genome. Evidence was obtained that in addition to chromosome 4E, other L. elongatum chromosomes control perennial growth. Monocarpy versus polycarpy is one of the fundamental developmental dichotomies in flowering plants.

Progress in developing perennial wheats for grain and grazing
Crop & Pasture Science, 2014Dual-purpose cereals have been important for increasing the flexibility and profitability of mixed farming enterprises in southern Australia, providing winter feed when pasture dry matter production is low, and then recovering to produce grain. A perennial dual-purpose cereal could confer additional economic and environmental benefits.
