Perennial cereal rye could take on barley
The Lethbridge Research Centre reports ongoing work since 1998 to develop perennial cereal rye as a silage crop that matures earlier than barley with similar yields and quality. Early hurdles included sterile flowers and seed-borne disease risk, but new breeding methods such as haploidy are speeding true breeding lines. Licensing talks involve Kenneth C. Long Seeds Ltd. of Spring Coulee, Alberta.
