Plants, 2021 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 ...

Phylogenetic relationships and climate-driven range shifts of Lemnaceae in South Africa
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionDuckweeds (Lemnaceae) are among the smallest flowering plants with ecologically significant components of freshwater ecosystems, yet their extreme morphological reduction complicates species identification, biogeographic classification, and invasion ...

Survival Strategies of Duckweeds, the World’s Smallest Angiosperms
Plants, 2023 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

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 ...

Landoltia (Lemnaceae), a New Genus of Duckweeds
Novon, 1999 Morphological, allozyme, and cpDNA (rbcL) sequence data provide evidence for the distinctness of Spirodela punctata from species in both Lemna and Spirodela (Lemnaceae). We propose the recognition of a new genus, Landoltia, to better reflect current phylogenetic concepts in the Lemnaceae.

Selective Feeding of the Duckweed Weevil on Three Common Species of Duckweed in Japan
Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.We examined the feeding preferences of the duckweed weevil on three duckweed species: Spirodela polyrhiza (Sp), Landoltia punctata (Lp), and Lemna aequinoctialis (La). Feeding assays showed that the area of Lp consumed was significantly smaller than that of Sp and La.

Multi‐Omics Unveils the Dual‐Life of the Aquatic Plant Potamogeton nodosus
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Heterophylly, characterized by distinct leaf morphologies, is an adaptive strategy evolved by some aquatic plants to cope with the contrasting environments in which they grow. It is shaped by environmental factors and by hormones, particularly abscisic and gibberellic acids.
