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

Characterisation of a Spontaneous Mutant of Lemna gibba G3 (Lemnaceae)
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

To colonise other planets, self-sufficiency of space missions is mandatory. To date, the most promising technology to support long-duration missions is the bioregenerative life support system (BLSS), in which plants as autotrophs play a crucial role in ...

Optimisation of phytoremediation of zinc ion by Lemnaceae using response surface methodology [PDF]
Phytoremediation, an eco-friendly approach, offers a green pathway towards cleaner and safer water resources. The efficiency of zinc ion removal through phytoremediation by Lemnaceae as a function of Lemnaceae species, the mass of duckweed and the ...

Survival Strategies of Duckweeds, the World’s Smallest Angiosperms
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) are small, simply constructed aquatic higher plants that grow on or just below the surface of quiet waters. They consist primarily of leaf-like assimilatory organs, or fronds, that reproduce mainly by vegetative replication. Despite

Mission possible: diatoms can be used to infer past duckweed (lemnoid Araceae) dominance in ponds [PDF]
Compared to larger lakes, ponds have rarely been the focus of palaeoecological studies. A common feature of ponds, especially those subject to eutrophication, is mass surface coverings of lemnoid Araceae (duckweed) which have severe implications for ...

Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) in Turkey
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.
