The PERLIFE project focuses on developing perennial traits in annual crops, specifically barley, to enhance sustainability in agriculture. By utilizing advanced genome sequencing and genome-editing technologies, it aims to create crops that require less input and can adapt better to climate change.
Today, annual crops account for more than 85% of the worldwide calorie consumption.
Annual crops are sown and harvested within one growing season and therefore require annual tillage, and application of herbicides and fertilizers that cause land and water degradation.
In contrast, perennial crops grow over many seasons, require low agricultural input and thereby hold great potential for sustainable production systems and climate change adaptation.
However, current efforts to breed perennial cere…
