Comparing the Effects of Microplastics From Conventional Cigarette Butts and Heated Tobacco Device: The Role of UV‐Induced Aging

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid

BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUE IN REDUCING THE WATER DISSOLVED NUTRIENTS IN THE DAIRY WASTEWATER BY USING DUCKWEED [PDF]

Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2012
The experiment was conducted in an ideal field of non-fully control studying the impact of the arbitration included duckweed plant in water to remove the dissolved nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphorus) from waste water of dairy products ...

Trait responses to competition are mostly parallel among competitor plants but can cause convergence or divergence in key traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants competing for resources exhibit different traits than plants which are not. Phenotypic plasticity can shape competition by altering trait differences between competitors.

Spontaneous Cell Lysis by Pelomonas saccharophila MRB3 Provides Plant-Available Macronutrients in Hydroponic Growth Media and Accelerates Biomass Production of Duckweed

Journal of Water and Environment Technology, 2023
This study reports an intriguing observation regarding the betaproteobacterium Pelomonas saccharophila MRB3 (NITE P-01647), a candidate plant growth-promoting bacterium that accelerates biomass production of the aquatic plant,

For colonization success, should hosts and microbes travel alone, together, or swap partners along the way?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental co‐introduction of duckweeds (Lemna japonica) and their microbiome in a common pond. Summary Microbiomes that enhance the performance of host plants are likely to be co‐introduced with their host during colonization because of their intimate association.

Species- and Metal-Specific Responses of the Ionome of Three Duckweed Species under Chromate and Nickel Treatments

Plants, 2023
In this study, growth and ionomic responses of three duckweed species were analyzed, namely Lemna minor, Landoltia punctata, and Spirodela polyrhiza, were exposed for short-term periods to hexavalent chromium or nickel under laboratory conditions. It was

Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

Quantitative and Qualitative Traits of Duckweed (Lemna minor) Produced on Growth Media with Pig Slurry

Agronomy, 2023
Duckweed is a plant with high phytoremediation abilities, which is why it is used in the process of cleaning the aquatic environment. The present study aimed to determine the effect of various concentrations of pig slurry added to the growth media used ...

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes (Adv. Sci. 41/2026)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
Trophic Diversity in Duckweed Framed by the Taiji symbol, a hallmark of Chinese philosophy, duckweed balances heterotrophy (Yin) and photoautotrophy (Yang). Their complementary crosstalk between mitochondria and chloroplasts drives mixotrophy, yielding a synergistic “1 + 1 > 2” boost in carbon use and biomass growth.
