Duckweeds, plants of the Lemnaceae family, have the distinction of being the smallest angiosperms in the world with the fastest doubling time. Together with its naturally ability to thrive on abundant anthropogenic wastewater, these plants hold tremendous potential to helping solve critical water, climate and fuel issues facing our planet this century.

Transformation Development in Duckweeds
2020There are five genera (Spirodela, Landoltia, Lemna, Wolffiella and Wolffia) of duckweed species widely distributed in various freshwater habitats worldwide. Rapid growth rate, predominantly asexual reproduction and floating growth made them ideal for a plant model.

The effect of amitrole on duckweed
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1970Aminotriazole applied to the surface of duckweed fronds as micro drops caused horizontal bands of chlorotic tissue to develop in the daughter fronds. Iron applied simultaneously was found to decrease the chlorotic response. Ultrastructure studies showed progressive disorganization in the affected cells.

Uptake kinetics of 99Tc in common duckweed
Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2000The uptake of the nuclear waste product technetium-99 was studied in common duckweed (Lemna minor). In addition to measurements, a model involving two compartments in duckweed with different chemical forms of technetium was derived. The model was tested by chemical speciation, i.e. differentiating between reduced Tc-compounds and Tc(VII)O(4)(-).

The duckweeds: A valuable plant for biomanufacturing
2005Inherent characteristics of duckweed, including fast, clonal growth, small size and simple growth habit, argue for their use as a biomanufacturing platform for proteins, polymers and small molecules. This review addresses five areas relevant to commercialization of the duckweed platform: (1) the characteristics of wild-type duckweed and general ...

Nanoplastics in Duckweed: Single-Cell Responses and Recovery
ACS NanoMicro- and nanoplastics have emerged as critical contaminants in aquatic ecosystems due to their small size, persistent nature, and potential for bioaccumulation. Nanoplastics are particularly concerning because they can be widespread in aquatic environments and ingested by aquatic organisms, posing potential risks to ecological health and ...

Response of duckweed to various concentrations of selenite
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014The uptake of Se(IV) and its effects on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of duckweed (Lemna minor L.) have been studied. Duckweed plants were cultivated in controlled conditions for 7 weeks in different concentrations of Na selenite: 0.5, 1, 2, 5 (exposed 42 days) and 10 mg Se L(-1) (survived 7-21 days).

Within eukaryotic genomes, there are several types of small RNAs including sn, sno, si, and miRNAs. With respect to the Lemnaceae family, the vast majority of the research to date has been conducted in Spirodela polyrhiza, focused mainly on the miRNAs. This research consists of three small RNA-sequencing experiments in strains from China, Germany, and ...

Benefits of Duckweeds for Phytoremediation
Aquatic plants, commonly known as duckweeds, represent a group of 36 species in the family Lemnaceae. Duckweeds are often regarded as detrimental to the environment because of their ability to quickly populate and cover the water surfaces due to their rapid vegetative propagation.Zhou, Yuzhen +3 more
