An ecological, phenotypic, and genomic survey of duckweeds with their associated aquatic environments in the United Kingdom Open
The duckweeds feature global distributions and diverse applications in phytoremediation and nutrition, as well as use in fundamental studies of development. Existing collections have minimal environmental data linked to natural habitats. T…

Aroma and metabolite profiling in duckweeds: Exploring species and ecotypic variation to enable wider adoption as a food crop Open
Duckweeds (water lentils) are a nutritious human food source, with Wolffia species consumed traditionally in Eastern Asia. Duckweed contain up to 45 % protein by dry weight, high macronutrients, minerals and carotenoids. However, duckweed …

Physiological adaptation to irradiance in duckweeds is species and accession specific and depends on light habitat niche Open
Duckweeds span 36 species of free-floating aquatic organisms with body sizes ranging from 2 mm to 10 mm, where each plant body plan is reduced to a largely leaf-like structure. As an emerging crop, their fast growth rates offer potential f…

The evolution of the duckweed ionome mirrors losses in structural complexity Open
Background and Aims The duckweeds consist of 36 species exhibiting impressive phenotypic variation, including the progressive evolutionary loss of a fundamental plant organ, the root. Loss of roots and reduction of vascular tissues in rece…

Physiological adaptation to high irradiance in duckweeds depends on light habitat niche and is ecotype and species-specific Open
Duckweeds are free-floating aquatic organisms with species ranging from 2 mm-10 mm, where each plant is a single leaflike structure. Recognized as an emerging food crop, their fast growth rates offer potential for cultivation in closed sys…

Nocturnal stomatal conductance in wheat is growth‐stage specific and shows genotypic variation Open
Summary Nocturnal stomatal conductance ( g sn ) represents a significant source of water loss, with implications for metabolism, thermal regulation and water‐use efficiency. With increasing nocturnal temperatures due to climate change, it …

Rapid temperature responses of photosystem II efficiency forecast genotypic variation in rice vegetative heat tolerance Open
SUMMARY A key target for the improvement of Oryza sativa (rice) is the development of heat‐tolerant varieties. This necessitates the development of high‐throughput methodologies for the screening of heat tolerance. Progress has been made t…
