Perennial grain cropping systems provide many beneficial attributes for the environment as compared to their annual analogues . Perennial crops are more resource-use efficiency and contribute less to soil erosion. The domestication of the perennial Intermediate Wheatgrass (IWG) for grain and forage production is being developed and a semi-commercial variety is currently used (i.e. Kernza®) in USA and Canada. However, the effect(s) of domestication on the
