Culturing duckweed in the field for starch accumulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Duckweed, a small floating aquatic plant, is a novel bioenergy crop with great potential to accumulate starch. Three factors involved in the growth and starch accumulation of duckweed were investigated in the field: population, harvesting frequency and ...

The Rise of Plant‐Based Proteins: Consumer Perception and Challenges

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
The health, economic, and environmental impacts of plant proteins, research, R&D investments, and regulations have driven the plant‐based food market to rise. Considering these developments and the challenges related to plant‐based foods, we have compiled research on plant‐based proteins from the perspective of consumers in various countries.

Caloric restriction‐mediated reproductive lifespan extension across multiple strains of the clonal aquatic plant Lemna turionifera

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Lifespan extension due to caloric restriction (CR) is a well‐established aspect of animal senescence that has been observed in many taxa. Contrastingly, there is much less evidence in plants, even though it is straightforward to manipulate CR by restricting photosynthesis through reduction in light intensity.

Duckweed: The hidden treasure

open access: yesNepalese Journal of Biosciences, 2015
In recent years, the tiny aquatic angiospermic plants ‘duckweeds’ have become prominent because they provide high protein animal feed, organic fertilizer, bio-fuel; control mosquitoes; and, have great applicability in wastewater purification, toxicity testing, and in basic research and evolutionary model system.

Use of duckweed, bentonite and acid to improve water quality of effluent discharge from abattoirs

open access: yes, 2004
Intensive animal industries create large volumes of nutrient rich effluent, which, if untreated, has the potential for substantial environmental degradation. Aquatic plants in aerobic lagoon systems have the potential to achieve inexpensive and efficient

A century of vitamin E research: The innovative journey from basic biology to synthetic bio‐manufacturing

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 985-1012, April 2026.
For a century, Vitamin E has been studied for its health benefits. This review traces its journey from basic biological discovery, and the recent identification of its link to chlorophyll degradation, to the modern era of sustainable microbial manufacturing, highlighting the innovative technologies that define its future production.

Ecophysiological tolerance of duckweeds exposed to copper [PDF]

open access: yesAquatic Toxicology, 2009
Although essential for plants, copper can be toxic when present in supra-optimal concentrations. Metal polluted sites, due to their extreme conditions, can harbour tolerant species and/or ecotypes. In this work we aimed to compare the physiological responses to copper exposure and the uptake capacities of two species of duckweed, Lemna minor (Lm(EC1 ...
