Wild type Summary (631 words) |
 | When wild type is used to describe an entire organism the sub-population of most prevalent phenotypes with the population is often referred to as the wild type strain. |
 | In biology, a wild type is one of the major genotypes of a species that occur in nature by evolution, in contrast to induced mutations or artificial cross-breeding. |
 | Wild type is also used for single genes (wild type alleles) (as opposed to induced mutant alleles). |
| Wild Rice (9267 words) |
 | Wild rice is a nutritional grain that serves as a substitute for potatoes or rice, and is used in a wide variety of foods such as dressings, casseroles, soups, salads, and desserts. |
 | Wild rice may be planted by using a bulk-fertilizer spreader to broadcast the seed, which is followed by using a disk or harrow to incorporate it to a depth of 1 to 2 in. |
 | Wild rice does not have the ability to obtain sufficient iron in non-flooded soils and iron availability is one of the major reasons wild rice must be grown in flooded soils. |
