Résumé
Thinopyrum intermedium is currently proposed as a perennial grain crop benefitingfrom raising interest through its environmental performances. As a new crop, lit-tle attention was paid to the understanding of the eco-physiological regulations of itsgrowth cycle. We conducted an experiment in growth chambers to evaluate the above-ground and belowground development of Th. intermedium in comparison to annualwheat during the first days of growth after sowing. The dynamic of growth was fasterfor wheat, in line with a strategy of rapid acquisition of resources and a quicker col-onization of its environment compared to Th. intermedium. In contrast, the latter hada preferential investment in roots that could reflect an adaptation from nutrient-poorenvironments to prioritize soil resource acquisition. These insights highlighted a slowestablishment phase for this new crop, which may lead to difficulties during the fieldestablishment, such as weed competition, but could enable it to withstand stressfulconditions in terms of soil resources once well established.
