Sources: www.wildrice.org and www.mnwildrice.org What’s in a Name? Ojibwa name: Manoomin (Good Berry or Good Seed) Family: Gramineae (Poaceae) Genus: Solanum Species: palustris Wild rice (also called Canada rice, Indian rice, and water oats) is four species of grasses forming the genus Zizania, and the grain which can be harvested from them. Zizania palustris is the species grown in Minnesota. The grain was historically gathered and eaten in both North America and China. While it is still eaten in North America, the grain is no longer eaten in China: only the plant’s stem is eaten there as a vegetable. The popularity of wild rice in the United States is growing because it has become more widely cultivated in recent decades. Despite its name, wild rice is not directly related to Asian rice, although they are both members of the grass family. Wild rice grows in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams. The grain is eaten by ducks and other aquatic wildlife. Zizania palustris is an annual plant, native to the Great Lakes. In more recent years, other varieties (species) of wild rice have been cultivated in other parts of the United States, primarily California.

  • Whole Grain Goodness
    Nutrition Know-How Child Health Specialty Clinics Whole Grain Goodness What is a whole grain? A whole grain food has all three parts of the grain, and each part has different vitamins and minerals that work together to provide nutrition. Many people only think of wheat and other bread products when they hear the word “grain,” but there are many foods that contain whole grains. Why do whole grains matter? Whole grains are higher in fiber, iron and vitamins than processed grains like white flour. Fiber can help your child pass bowel movements, and iron and vitamins are very important for a child’s growth and development. People who eat more whole grains are less likely to struggle with their weight and other serious health conditions like colon cancer. How much whole grain does my child need? This depends on your child’s age and size. A good guide is to make at least half of your child’s grain servings whole grain. For example, if your child eats 6 servings of grain, at least 3 of those servings should be whole grain. How do I know if a food is whole grain? Look for the words “whole grain” on the package. Foods with at least 51% whole grain will have a special label on them like the one shown at the top of this page. You can also check the ingredients; to be a whole grain product a food should have a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. A whole grain bread will have “whole wheat flour” as the first ingredient.

However, there are many wonderful gluten-free grains* to enjoy. Cornmeal, Amaranth Polenta, Grits, Once the sacred food of the Aztecs, amaranth is high in protein, calcium, iron, and fiber. Toasting this tiny grain before cooking brings out its nutty flavor. Hominy Makes a delicious, creamy hot breakfast cereal. Serve with fruit of choice on top and/or a touch of maple syrup. Millet Rice Rice comes in many varieties: short grain, long grain, jasmine and basmati to name a Oats few. Long grain rice tends to be fluffier while short grain rice is stickier. Rice also comes in various colors: black, purple, brown, and red. These colorful un-refined rices contribute more nutritional benefits than does refined white rice and have subtly unique flavors and Quinoa textures too. Wild rice is another different and delicious option. Versatile rice leftovers can go in many directions. Add to salads or sautéed vegetables; Rice make rice pancakes or rice pudding; season and use as filling for baked green peppers or winter squash. Sorghum Buckwheat Despite the name, buckwheat is a gluten-free member of the rhubarb family. Roasted buckwheat is called kasha.

  • Protecting Minnesota's Wild Rice Lakes
    Protecting Minnesota’s wild rice lakes June 2015 Snapshots Minnesota is the epicenter of the world’s natural wild rice. Protected, undeveloped shoreland is important to preserving sensitive wild rice lakes for current and future generations of wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts. Although once found throughout most of the state, today, the heart of the state’s wild rice acreage falls within eleven counties: Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, St. Louis and Wadena. Wild rice is important both socially and culturally in Minnesota. Wild rice also provides important ecological benefits. Wild rice shoreland encompasses a complex of shallow lakes, rivers, and shallow bays of deeper lakes that support rice and provide some of the most important habitat for wetland- dependent wildlife species in Minnesota. Wild rice habitat is especially important to Minnesota’s migrating and breeding waterfowl and provides Minnesotans with unique recreation opportunities: hunting waterfowl and harvesting the rice itself for food. Wild rice also improves and protects water A young man harvests wild quality by keeping soil and nutrients in place and acting as a buffer to slow rice. winds across wetlands. The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) has received Outdoor Heritage Funds to support and protect our state grain. Working in cooperation with the DNR and soil and water conservation districts, BWSR will complete 46 easement projects on 29 lakes and rivers. Funding for wild rice protection began in 2012. This first phase of the project was awarded $1.89 million which yielded 18 completed projects extending permanent protection to almost 10 miles of wild rice shoreland.

  • Expanded Understanding of Eleusine Diversity and Evolution
    Expanded Understanding of Eleusine Diversity and Evolution by Hui Zhang A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2018 Key words: Next-generation sequencing, Illumina, Genome, Transcriptome, Phylogenetic, Goosegrass Copyright 2018 by Hui Zhang Approved by J. Scott McElroy, Chair, Professor of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Charles Y. Chen, Professor of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Leslie R. Goertzen, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Eric Peatman, Associate Professor of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences i Abstract Eleusine, including 9 to 12 species, is a small genus of annual and perennial grass species within the Eragrosteae tribe and Chloridoideae subfamily. There are very few genomic information about this genus. The primary goal of this dissertation research is to expand understanding of Eleusine diversity and evolution. The dissertation opens with a brief literature review regarding the motivation for this research. In chapter 2 we report a draft assembly of approximately 498 Mb whole-genome sequences of goosegrass obtained by de novo assembly of paired-end and mate-paired reads generated by Illumina sequencing of total genomic DNA. From around 88 GB of the clean data, the genome was assembled into 24,063 scaffolds with N50 = 233,823 bp. The nuclear genome assembly contains 25,467 predicted unique protein-coding genes. Sixteen target herbicide resistant genes and four non-target herbicide resistant gene families were obtained from this draft genome. Chapter 3 presents a complete plastid genome sequence of goosegrass obtained by de novo assembly of paired-end and mate-paired reads obtained in chapter 2.

  • Phytogeographic Basis Plant Breeding
    PHYTOGEOGRAPHIC BASIS of PLANT BREEDING 1. Local Varieties and Their Significance :— The -varieties of cultivated plants grown in the different regions of the Soviet Union until recently were varieties introduced from various localities and countries, and were inseparable from human migration and colonization. The list of cultivated plants reflects the history of our country in its recent past, it shows the effects of individual peasant farming. In the separate groups and varieties of plants one can trace the routes by which they were brought from Western Europe, the United States, Asia Minor, Mongolia, and Iran. In the pre-revolutionary period, the introduction of new varieties in our country was haphazard. Beginning with the eighteenth century, individual amateur growers and societies unsystemati- cally introduced new varieties from abroad. Sometimes these new varieties were quite valuable but because of the vastness of our country and the com- plete absence of any state-planned system of plant introduction, the imported varieties usually restricted themselves to very limited areas and disappeared. It may be considered that pedigree seed production, in the real meaning of the term, did not exist in our country before the October Revolution. We have just begun a planned distribution of varieties in accordance with the needs of our large-scale socialized and mechanized agricultural economy. Yet, there is no doubt that the varietal materials which were introduced in our country and cultivated for decades and centuries were subjected to natural selection, and also to deliberate or casual artificial selection, and that some local varieties evolved that were ecologically adapted. The proximity of the Soviet Union to the basic centers of origin of numer- ous cultivated plants facilitated the selection of exceptionally valuable forms.

  • Ancient Grains for Today's Tastes
    Ancient Grains for Today’s Tastes You may have heard the term “ancient grains” and wondered just which grains are considered ancient. Though there’s no strict list of grains that qualify, generally the term refers to grains that have come down to us largely unchanged over centuries. Examples might include quinoa, amaranth, millet, teff, and wild rice, along with wheat varieties such as einkorn, emmer (farro), spelt and khorasan wheat (Kamut®). There are three good reasons to eat ancient grains: 1. Good Taste. Each different grain has its own particular taste and texture. When you change it up, you’ll discover new flavors that could become longtime favorites. Life is too short to eat the same thing day after day! 2. Better Health. If your doctor asked you to eat more vegetables, you wouldn’t simply eat carrots (as healthy as they are!) – you would realize intuitively that different vegetables offer different nutrients your body needs. Same with grains. When you bring more diversity to your grain choices, your body gets a wider range of important nutrients. Recent research, for instance, shows that Kamut® (right) has higher levels of certain minerals and antioxidants than modern wheat and increased ability to combat infection; black and red rice are also higher in antioxidants than brown rice. 3. Great Stories. Eating food with a story behind it connects us to life on earth in meaningful ways. This is of course true when you “eat local” and connect with growers at your farmers market. It’s also true when your food comes from far away but arrives with a story.

  • Genomic Designing for Climate Smart Finger Millet
    Chapter 7 Genomic Designing for Climate Smart Finger Millet Damaris Achieng Odeny, Adnan Niazi, Kassahun Tesfaye, Dagnachew Lule, Solomon Wanyonyi and Josephine Sarah Kunguni Abstract Finger millet is a nutritious cereal crop mainly grown in eastern Africa and southern parts of India. The crop has an incredible ability to adapt to adverse agro-ecological conditions, and is therefore a favorite of smallholder farmers in the tropics, especially women. Finger millet grain is gluten free and exceptionally rich in micronutrients including calcium, folic acid and iron. Despite its unique quality, there has been limited research investment in finger millet resulting in the lack of genetic and genomic resources for more efficient breeding. The abundant genetic resources at the center of origin are yet to be fully exploited for crop improvement, and to date, very few pre-breeding programs exist. Several studies indicate the potential use of the secondary and tertiary gene pools to broaden the narrow genetic base that has been created by the inbreeding nature of the crop. The recent D. A.
