A comparison of growth on mercuric chloride for three Lemnaceae species reveals differences in growth dynamics that effect their suitability for use in either monitoring or remediating ecosystems contaminated with mercury [PDF]

, 2018
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic heavy metal that can alter the ecological balance when it contaminates aquatic ecosystems. Previously, researchers have used various Lemnaceae species either to monitor and/or remove heavy metals from freshwater systems.

Biochemical alterations in duckweed and algae induced by carrier solvents: Selection of an appropriate solvent in toxicity testing [PDF]

, 2017
Carrier solvents are often used in aquatic toxicity testing for test chemicals with hydrophobic properties. However, the knowledge of solvent effects on test organisms remains limited. This study aimed to understand biochemical effects of the four common

Varied Growth Media Necessitate Different Light Regimes for Indoor Duckweed Cultivation

Plants
Controlled indoor cultivation of duckweed plants can support remediation of wastewaters through generation of plant biomass. Despite numerous advantages, indoor cultivation of duckweeds on agri-food wastewaters remains underexplored.

Overexpression of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase (PSAT)-Enhanced Cadmium Resistance and Accumulation in Duckweed (Lemna turionifera 5511)

Plants
Cadmium (Cd) hampers plant growth and harms photosynthesis. Glutamate (Glu) responds to Cd stress and activates the Ca2+ signaling pathway in duckweed, emphasizing Glu’s significant role in Cd stress.

Chemical Characterization of Protein Contentrates of Duckweed (Fanruily Lenrnnaceae) [PDF]

, 1998
The amount of protein was determined in supernatant and residual pulp of three species of duckweed, Spirodela Polyrrhiza, oligorrhiza, Wolffia columbiana and a mixed culture. Protein content of the supernatant and the residual pulp was similar except S.

Mass Production of Lemna minor and Its Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Profiles

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
The surface floating duckweed Lemna minor (Lemnaceae) is a potential ingredient to replace the application of fish-meal in the aqua-feed. The culture technique of the duckweed was standardized in outdoor tanks and then applied in the pond.

Lemna aequinoctialis (lesser duckweed).

, 2020
Abstract Lemna aequinoctialis is a tiny free-floating aquatic plant. It is listed as an invasive species in New Caledonia and Cuba. It can become abundant in freshwater lakes, pools, canals and slow flowing rivers and has been reported as a transformer species in Cuba.

The Comparison of Fresh and Dry Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) on Metal (Cr⁶⁺, Cd²⁺, and Zn²⁺) Removal from Wastewater

Plants
Heavy metals contaminating the environment is a global concern. Duckweed (Lemna minor) is a promising plant for the phytoremediation and biosorption of metal-contaminated water.

Flowering in British Lemna: A rare, cyclic or simply overlooked phenomenon? [PDF]

, 1997
It is largely presumed that reproduction in British Lemna, as in other British Lemnaceae, is almost entirely asexual, with new daughter fronds being produced from the side pouches of older mother fronds.
