Wildrice Improvement: Breeding, Production, and Pathology

Principal Investigator: Raymie Porter

Project Description: The long-term goal of this project is to develop improved wildrice cultivars through conventional breeding and marker-assisted selection for key traits affecting production efficiency. New genetic knowledge about these key traits is sought to develop culitivated wildrice. 

Project Years: 2009-2010

Funding Source: Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice Council
