Return of the Lemnaceae: duckweed as a model plant system in the genomics and postgenomics era
The aquatic Lemnaceae family, commonly called duckweed, comprises some of the smallest
and fastest growing angiosperms known on Earth. Their tiny size, rapid growth by clonal …

Polyploidy impacts population growth and competition with diploids: multigenerational experiments reveal key life‐history trade‐offs
Ecological theory predicts that early generation polyploids ('neopolyploids') should quickly
go extinct owing to the disadvantages of rarity and competition with their diploid progenitors …

Flavone‐associated resistance of two Lemna species to duckweed weevil attack
Lemna perpusilla and Lemna minor are free‐floating plants that often live in the same
habitat. However, little is known about how they differ in response to herbivore attacks. In …
