	Wild rice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The four species of wild rice compose the genus Zizania, a group of grasses that grow in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams.
		True rice, genus Oryza, is also a grass; the two genera Oryza and Zizania are closely related, sharing the tribe Oryzeae.
		Northern wild rice is the state grain of the U.S. state of Minnesota.

	Botanical Electronic News - BEN #363
		Zizania L. (wild rice) is a small genus of aquatic grasses that grow in shallow water in lakes and rivers.
		Zizania texana (Texas wild rice) is a perennial that is narrowly distributed in the Upper San Marcos River, Hays County, Texas (Terrell et al.
		Populations of Zizania have been reported from a few areas in British Columbia, but these were likely planted or otherwise introduced, as Zizania is not believed to be native to the province.

	Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS WILD RICE
		Texas wild rice (Zizania texana Hitchc.), a rare and endangered species of aquatic grass, exists in the spring-fed headwaters of the San Marcos River within the city limits of San Marcos, Hays County, Texas.
		It is closely related to annual wild rice (Zizania aquatica), an economically important plant that grows abundantly wild in the northern, central, and eastern wetland areas of North America but not in Texas.
		The causes of population decline of Zizania texana suggested by Emery were supported in studies and surveys made by H. Beaty in 1972, W. Emery in 1977, J. Vaughn in 1986, and P. Power in 1992.

		Zizania—a lighthouse tender built at Baltimore in 1888 for the United States Lighthouse Service—was transferred to the War Department by an executive order dated 24 April 1917.
		Subsequently reassigned to the Navy, Zizania served during World War I as a tender to section patrol craft operating in the 1st Naval District.
		Based at Portland, Maine, she resumed duty tending lighthouses along the New England coast and remained so employed until 1925 when her name was dropped from the list of Lighthouse Service vessels.

		Native to North America from the northern end of Lake Winnipeg southward to Gulf of Mexico, and eastward to the Atlantic Coast, being more generally found in Minnesota and in southern Manitoba and Ontario, Canada.

	Wild Rice - Cultivated
		Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) is native to North America and grows predominantly in the Great Lakes region.
		This large-seeded species, one of four species of wild rice, is in the grass family (Poaceae) and has been eaten by people since prehistoric times.
		However, the name "wild rice" persisted and today it is the common name for the genus Zizania, even though the wild type of rice (Oryza) is also called wild rice.

		To many who know wild rice it is known only as an item on the supermarket shelf, but this grass, Zizania palustris L., grows natively in the Connecticut River basin.
		Wild rice is a tall aquatic grass of North America with a grain two or more times the length of the long grain rice of Asia (Oryza).
		Ergot, Claviceps zizaniae, is also known to occur on natural grain wild rice.

	IRRI - International Rice Research Institute
		Although these advances have largely been applied to nondiverse monocultures of particular cultivars, relatively few practical advances have been made in using genetic biodiversity as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, such as manipulating the patterns of rice cropping to counter resistance-breaking strains of pests.
		In the Yangtze River Delta, Saccharosydne procerus (Delphacidae: Homoptera) on the vegetable Zizania caduciflora L. is a major alternate host of the egg parasitoid Anagrus nilaparvatae (Mymaridae: Heteroptera), which is an important biocontrol agent of planthoppers on single-season japonica rice.
		This chapter shows that proper deployment of rice and Zizania fields will enhance the efficiency of the egg parasitoid A. nilaparvatae against both planthoppers in rice and S. procerus in Zizania fields.
