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]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 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.

Competition Between Lemna minuta, Lemna minor, and Azolla filiculoides. Growing Fast or Being Steadfast? [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
A substantial number of Lemnaceae are invasive outside their natural distribution area. Lemna minuta is considered invasive in several European countries, where it can occur in the same habitat as invasive Azolla filiculoides and native Lemna minor.

Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

Strain, procedures, and tools for reproducible genetic transformation and genome editing of the emerging plant model Spirodela polyrhiza. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) have excellent potential for fundamental and applied research due to ease of cultivation, small size, and continuous fast clonal growth. However, their usage as model organisms and platforms for biotechnological applications is often limited by the lack of universal genetic manipulation methods necessary for transgene ...

Genome diversity and evolution of the duckweed section Alatae comprising diploids, polyploids, and interspecific hybrids. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY The section Alatae of genus Lemna of the monocotyledonous aquatic duckweed family (Lemnaceae) consists of rather diverse accessions with unknown phylogeny and unclear taxonomic assignment. In contrast to other duckweeds, some Alatae accessions, in addition to mainly vegetative propagation, produce readily flowers and viable seeds.

Experimental research compared aquaculture of certain species of the Lemna genus with demonstration of environmental requirements and of the adaptations to environmental conditions specific to aquatic eutroph-polytroph ecosystems [PDF]

Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2020
The macrophyte plants Lemnaceae are abundant in the tropical and subtropical regions but now present in the Danube Delta. The plant grows in water with high levels of N, P, and K, synthesizing protein at a remarkable rate. Used as food and feed in some

Lemnaceae and Orontiaceae Are Phylogenetically and Morphologically Distinct from Araceae

Plants, 2021
Duckweeds comprise a distinctive clade of pleustophytic monocots that traditionally has been classified as the family Lemnaceae. However, molecular evidence has called into question their phylogenetic independence, with some authors asserting instead ...
