Plant dispersal across the tropical Atlantic by wind and sea currents [PDF]
, 2004 This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages ranging across the tropical Atlantic with data on the direction, strength, and speed of sea currents and wind jets across that ocean. Mainly for pragmatic reasons (data

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 ...

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

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 ...

Optimisation of phytoremediation of zinc ion by Lemnaceae using response surface methodology [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesPhytoremediation, 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
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

“Step by step”: high frequency short-distance epizoochorous dispersal of aquatic macrophytes [PDF]
, 2016 Aquatic macrophytes can successfully colonise and re-colonise areas separated by space and time. The mechanisms underlying such “mobility” are not well understood, but it has often been hypothesised that epizoochory (external dispersal) plays an ...

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.

Mission possible: diatoms can be used to infer past duckweed (lemnoid Araceae) dominance in ponds [PDF]
, 2017 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 ...
