This study uses single-plant GWAS to identify genetic loci controlling vegetative traits in Northern Wild Rice, finding polygenic control and shared loci across multiple traits.

This paper presents a transcriptomic atlas of Northern Wild Rice, identifying gene expression patterns across 20 tissues and six developmental stages, revealing hormonal regulation of seed dormancy, aquatic-to-aerial leaf transitions, and subfunctionalization of duplicated shattering genes.

This study genotyped 839 Northern Wild Rice individuals using GBS, identified 5,955 SNPs, and analyzed genetic diversity and population structure, finding geographic clustering in wild populations and genetic distinction between wild and cultivated NWR.

The paper presents a high-quality whole genome assembly and annotation of Northern Wild Rice, revealing a whole genome duplication event in the Zizania genus.
