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.

Double Trouble: Aquatic Invasive Plants Can Promote Mosquitoes
ABSTRACT Human activities continue to facilitate biological invasions, profoundly impacting our environment and economy. Plants and insects constitute the majority of invasions to date, with facilitative links established between them, particularly in terrestrial habitats.

New Insights into Interspecific Hybridization in Lemna L. Sect. Lemna (Lemnaceae Martinov)
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.

Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

Growth and Lead Accumulation Capacity of Lemna minor and Spirodela polyrhiza (Lemnaceae): Interactions with Nutrient Enrichment [PDF]
A study to understand the biological effects of samples prepared with lead and the effects of lead were conducted on Lemna minor L. and Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleid. This study was intended to test the hypothesis that nutrient enrichment (P, NO (3) (-

The effect of biodiversity on productivity changes over time in duckweed communities
Several studies have shown that increased biodiversity can lead to increased productivity in plant communities. This relationship can be explained by a selection effect caused by the dominance of one or a few species that drive productivity, and by a complementarity effect resulting from the use of resources by the different species.

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the radiosensitivity of Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Wimm.
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

This study investigates the variation in flower petal size and the petal‐to‐plant height ratio among 10,228 animal ‐ pollinated angiosperm species across different climatic and altitudinal gradients in China. Results indicate that larger petal sizes are associated with higher temperatures and precipitation, while altitudinal variations significantly ...

Duckweed: Growth factor and applications in nonfood, food, and health
Versatile Duckweed! Duckweeds are aquatic plants that are mainly constituted of five genera, Lemna, Spirodela, Wolffia, Wolffiella, and Landoltia. The growth rates and chemical compositions are influenced by light intensity, photoperiod, nutrient content, microbial growth, temperature, medium salinity and conductivity, windspeed, climate, and water pH.
