Toward a taxonomic definition of perennial wheat: a new species ×Tritipyrum aaseae described
- BiologyGenetic Resources and Crop Evolution
The history of perennial wheat breeding is outlined, a naming convention based on the International Code for Nomenclature is suggested and one combination within the new nothogenus ×Tritipyrum is described.
Perils of production with perennial polycultures
- Outlook on Agriculture
Perennial grains and polyculture were proposed (Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems 20 (1), March 2005) as alternatives to annual grain systems. The authors criticized current annual systems as…
Comparative Analysis of Early Life Stage Traits in Annual and Perennial Phaseolus Crops and Their Wild Relatives
- Biology, MedicineFrontiers in Plant Science
Comparing cultivated and wild accessions of congeneric annual and herbaceous perennial legume species to investigate associations of lifespan and cultivation with early life stage traits including seed size, germination, and first year vegetative growth patterns and to assess variation and covariation in these traits is compared.
Comparative analysis of seed size, germination, and vegetative allocation in annual and herbaceous perennial crops and their wild relatives in Lupinus and Phaseolus (Fabaceae)
Comparing cultivated and wild accessions of congeneric annual and herbaceous perennial legume species is compared to investigate associations of lifespan and cultivation with seed size, germination, and first year vegetative growth patterns, and to characterize covariation among traits.
Chapter 2 Agropyron and Psathyrostachys
Wheatgrass and wildrye grasses are some of the most important grasses in the temperate regions of the world (Asay and Jensen 1996a, b). These drought-resistant grasses are excellent sources of forage…
Development of Perennial Wheat Through Hybridization Between Wheat and Wheatgrasses: A Review
Breeding Perennial Grain Crops Based on Wheat
The development of perennial grain and forage crops balancing the agronomics of wheat with the polycarpic habit of its relatives is promising, similar to Triticale, where new crops are developed combining the desirable qualities of the parents.
