I had the same thoughts initially. It's interesting to think about with the way the climate is heading. The people that are working on this are likely also working on breeding plants that are more suited to growing indoors. Useful genes would be dwarfing genes or genes that speed up the growth cycle. What breeders would be looking for is completely different than what's been selected for throughout history. Most grains are also annuals but there is work being done on breeding perennial grains. Do you know why strawberries from California are available at the supermarket all year round? It's because farmers and breeders found a gene that made strawberries daylight neutral, meaning they didn't have to go through a "winter" season to produce fruit again. Plants will keep bearing fruit all year round.
