While development of perennial Kernza wheat is successful, other crops may not be adaptable
October 20, 2020 – Perennial crops need not be planted every year, have roots that grow deeper in the soil and other advantages over annual crops. However, progress has been comparatively slow in terms of unlocking the evolutionary and eco-physiological bottlenecks that limit the yield potential and therefore broader adoption of such crops. The "Unlocking the Biological Potential of Perennial Grain Crops for Sustainable Agriculture: Advances and Challenges" symposium at the Translating Visionary Science to Practice ASA, CSSA, SSSA International Annual Meeting will address these topics.
