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.

ALPHA: A High Throughput System for Quantifying Growth in Aquatic Plants [PDF]

Plant Direct
The need for more sustainable agricultural systems is becoming increasingly apparent. The global demand for agricultural products—food, feed, fuel and fiber—will continue to increase as the global population continues to grow.

Lemnaceae as Novel Crop Candidates for CO₂ Sequestration and Additional Applications [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is projected to be twice as high as the pre-industrial level by 2050. This review briefly highlights key responses of terrestrial plants to elevated CO2 and compares these with the responses of aquatic floating plants of ...

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 ...

Characterisation of a Spontaneous Mutant of Lemna gibba G3 (Lemnaceae) [PDF]

Plants, 2023
A spontaneous mutant of the duckweed Lemna gibba clone no. 7796 (known as strain G3, WT) was discovered. In this mutant clone, L. gibba clone no. 9602 (mt), the morphological parameters (frond length, frond width, root length, root diameter) indicated an

Species interactions in three Lemnaceae species growing along a gradient of zinc pollution

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) are increasingly studied for their potential for phytoremediation of heavy‐metal polluted water bodies. A prerequisite for metal removal, however, is the tolerance of the organism to the pollutant, e.g., the metal zinc (Zn ...

Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) in Turkey

Webbia, 1984
Abstract Turkish Lemnaceae consists of 5 species, viz. Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden, Lemna gibba L., L. minor L., L. trisulca L. and L. turionifera Landolt. The Turkish distribution of the species was mapped. Duckweeds seem to be rare or absent along the southern fringe of the country, and in Inner and N. Anatolia between 32° and 42° E.

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
