To compensate for their sessile nature, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms
enabling them to adapt to ever-changing environments. One such prominent feature is the …

Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth & DR Dewey) has
been developed as a perennial grain crop for human consumption along with providing …

Perennial crops have the potential to provide sustainable food production while promoting
multiple ecosystem services. Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a perennial grass that is …

Thinopyrum intermedium subsp. intermedium (Host) Barkworth & DR Dewey is a perennial
grass proposed as a dual-use crop for both forage and grain. Being in the nascent stage of …

There is increasing interest in perennial crops to build soil carbon (C), but the mechanisms
underlying soil C accrual in perennial croplands remain unclear, especially over time in the …

The release of cultivars of two perennial grains is a milestone in perennial grain and oilseed
development. Agronomic studies can progress by having stable genetics upon which to …

Global food production relies on annual grain crops. The reliability and productivity of these
crops are threatened by adaptations to climate change and unsustainable rates of soil loss …

David Pimentel was trained as an entomologist, but he was widely recognized for
investigating and revealing uncomfortable knowledge on the state of global agriculture …

Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium; IWG) is a temperate perennial grass
capable of performing in dual-purpose perennial grain cropping systems. It is valued for its …

Continuous land disturbance could negatively impact microbial community, but perennial
crops can potentially reverse this negativity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the …
