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.

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

Personalization and Fortification of In‐Space Manufactured Emulsified Beverages for Long‐Term Space Travel

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The current trend of individualized food items (nutrient content and flavor) can be particularly valuable to support people's health and well‐being in isolated environments where access to fresh foods and diverse nutrition is difficult. At the same time, bioactive compounds and micronutrients can be employed to countermeasure any health ...

Growth and Nutritional Quality of Lemnaceae Viewed Comparatively in an Ecological and Evolutionary Context

Plants, 2022
This review focuses on recently characterized traits of the aquatic floating plant Lemna with an emphasis on its capacity to combine rapid growth with the accumulation of high levels of the essential human micronutrient zeaxanthin due to an unusual ...

Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

Genome diversity and phylogeny of the section Alatae of genus Lemna (Lemnaceae), comprising the presumed species Lemna aequinoctialis, Le. perpusilla and Le. aoukikusa

bioRxiv
The Section Alatae of genus Lemna of the monocotyledonous aquatic duckweed family (Lemnaceae) consists of rather diverse accessions with unknown phylogeny and unclear taxonomic assignment.

A Comparison of Growth on Mercuric Chloride for Three Lemnaceae Species Reveals Differences in Growth Dynamics That Effect Their Suitability for Use in Either Monitoring or Remediating Ecosystems Contaminated With Mercury

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.

Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture; Analysing Contributions of Different Biological Compartments to Nutrient Removal in a Duckweed-Based Water Remediation System

Plants, 2022
Duckweed (Lemnaceae) can support the development of freshwater aquaculture if used as extractive species in Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems.

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.
