Wild rice (Zizania Palustris) seed biology: germination under a changing climate
Manoomin/psiɳ (Zizania palustris) is the native wild rice that has grown in shallow freshwaters in the Great Lakes Region of the United States for thousands of years. Tribal communities that consume wild rice have had a symbiotic relationship with the plant for generations. Unfortunately, numerous …

Ecological Limitations for Southern Wild Rice Associated with Backwater Lakes of the Illinois and Upper Mississippi River Valleys
… late 1930s and early 1940s indicate that natural wild rice (Zizania aquatica L.var. aquatica) populations were common in backwater lakes throughout the Illinois River Valley; however, only a single population was documented in this region between 2001 and 2007. This single population, located in …

Effects of P.L. 566 Stream Channelization on Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region
The Wild Rice Creek Watershed project, in North and South Dakota was constructed under authority of the Small Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (P.L. 83-566 as amended). Structural measures included 24.7 miles of channelization and four floodwater retarding dams. To measure the degree …

Characterization of natural variation in steady- and non-steady-state photosynthesis and its underlying mechanisms to improve productivity in rice (Oryza sativa)
Rice is a staple crop that is critical to food security, especially throughout Asia. Despite tremendous yield increases during the Green Revolution, yields have begun to stagnate in recent decades. Improving the photosynthetic performance of rice presents an opportunity to both increase yields and …
