It is strange the author used the word "discover". Scientists have worked over 70 years to breed, build, create (choose your own word) this crop. Good article though. Especially good list of references, most of which have clickable links to the articles referenced. That is a wonderful tool. The perennial "wheats" from the northwest don't survive Kansas hot dry summers. The Land Institute in Kansas has it's own perennial grain called Kernza. It is being used commercially for baking and for beer, on a small scall. So now there are 2 kinds of perennial wheat-like crops, Kernza and Salish Blue. Neither are released for public use yet.
