The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 2, 2026.SUMMARY Genome expansion in angiosperms is largely driven by transposable element (TE) proliferation, counteracted by epigenetic silencing. To investigate how TE amplification reshapes silencing landscapes, we compared two closely related, clonally propagating duckweeds, the TE‐rich Wolffia brasiliensis, for which we report a draft genome assembly, and

Flow Rate and Water Depth Alters Biomass Production and Phytoremediation Capacity of Lemna minor
Plants, 2022 Given its high biomass production, phytoremediation capacity and suitability as a feedstock for animal and human nutrition, duckweeds are valuable multipurpose plants that can underpin circular economy applications.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Lifespan extension due to caloric restriction (CR) is a well‐established aspect of animal senescence that has been observed in many taxa. Contrastingly, there is much less evidence in plants, even though it is straightforward to manipulate CR by restricting photosynthesis through reduction in light intensity.

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.

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 629-647, April 2026.Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

New Insights into Interspecific Hybridization in Lemna L. Sect. Lemna (Lemnaceae Martinov)
Plants, 2021 Duckweeds have been increasingly studied in recent years, both as model plants and in view of their potential applications as a new crop in a circular bioeconomy perspective.

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.SUMMARY Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the primary enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Given the important role of GTs in plants, it is necessary to undertake their functional characterization to better understand plant cell wall synthesis pathways to develop improved feedstocks for efficient ...

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the radiosensitivity of Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Wimm.
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 After irradiation with gamma radiation from 60Co, differences were found in the survival rates of Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Wimm., cultured in vitro with different amounts of calcium and magnesium. Radiation doses ranged from 80 to 3000 mC•kg-1. Magnesium and

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study evaluates the effectiveness of Lemna minor as a biofilter in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for the cultivation of Sumatran barb (Puntius tetrazona). The experiment was conducted over 40 days using four treatments based on the surface area coverage of L.
