Under the right conditions, duckweed essentially farms itself. Wastewater, ponds, puddles, swamps—you name it. If there's ...

Duckweed might be the world’s most underestimated plant. Thriving in water and rich in potential, this fast-growing aquatic ...

Genes required for chromosomal small RNA are missing in certain duckweed species. This may explain the emergence of vigorous inter-species hybrids with three, rather than two, copies of each ...

Scientists have released new and more accurate genome sequences for five species of duckweed. Their research reveals the specific genes responsible for some of the plant's most useful traits, allowing ...

In Thailand, people traditionally eat a duckweed species called Wolffia globosa. It is easy to grow and harvest, inexpensive, and has an extraordinary nutritional profile. Wolffia is a valuable ...

The team has developed new genome sequences for five duckweed species. The sequences reveal several genes that—when present or absent—may be behind the plant’s unique traits and versatility.

Under the right conditions, duckweed essentially farms itself. Wastewater, ponds, puddles, swamps—you name it. If there's enough sunlight and carbon ...

Without duckweed, the lake lost its ability to sustain these migratory species," said Professor Jamal Uddin, chairman of JU's environmental science department. To address this issue, Auritro ...
