[**https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae)**Lemnoideae****Close-up of two different duckweed types: Spirodela
polyrrhiza and Wolffia globosa: The latter are less than 2 mm
long.****Scientific classification Edit this classification****Kingdom:     Plantae****Clade:     Tracheophytes****Clade:     Angiosperms****Clade:     Monocots****Order:     Alismatales****Family: Araceae****Subfamily: Lemnoideae****Genera :     Lemna   
Spirodela    Wolffia   Wolffiella****Synonyms : Lemnaceae**Lemnoideae is a subfamily of flowering aquatic plants, known
as duckweeds, water lentils, or water lenses. They float on or
just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh
water and wetlands. Also known as bayroot, they arose from
within the arum or aroid family (Araceae),[1] so often are
classified as the subfamily Lemnoideae within the family
Araceae. Other classifications, particularly those created prior
to the end of the twentieth century, place them as a separate
family, Lemnaceae.  
  
These plants have a simple structure, lacking an obvious stem or
leaves. The greater part of each plant is a small organized
"thallus" or "frond" structure only a few cells thick, often
with air pockets (aerenchyma) that allow it to float on or just
under the water surface. Depending on the species, each plant
may have no root or may have one or more simple rootlets.[2]  
  
Reproduction is mostly by asexual budding (vegetative
reproduction), which occurs from a meristem enclosed at the base
of the frond. Occasionally, three tiny "flowers" consisting of
two stamens and a pistil are produced, by which sexual
reproduction occurs. Some view this "flower" as a pseudanthium,
or reduced inflorescence, with three flowers that are distinctly
either female or male and which are derived from the spadix in
the Araceae. Evolution of the duckweed inflorescence remains
ambiguous due to the considerable evolutionary reduction of
these plants from their earlier relatives.  
  
The flower of the duckweed genus Wolffia is the smallest known,
measuring merely 0.3 mm long.[3] The fruit produced through this
occasional reproduction is a utricle, and a seed is produced in
a bag containing air that facilitates flotation. **Duckweed in natural environments**One of the more important factors influencing the
distribution of wetland plants, and aquatic plants in
particular, is nutrient availability.[4] Duckweeds tend to be
associated with fertile, even eutrophic conditions. They can be
spread by sticking to the feathers of waterfowl and the skin or
fur of other amphibious animals, and thus transported
inadvertently to new bodies of water.[5] The plants may also be
transported by flooding or other moving water. In water bodies
with constant currents or overflow, the plants are carried down
the channels and do not typically proliferate greatly, as they
prefer still waters. However, in some locations, a cyclical
pattern exists, driven by weather patterns, in which the plants
proliferate greatly during periods of low water movement before
they are carried away as rainy periods ensue.  
  
Duckweed is an important, high-protein food source for waterfowl
and many species of fish.[citation needed] The tiny plants
provide cover for the vulnerable fry and tadpoles of many fishes
and amphibians. The plants are used as shelter by pond species,
such as bullfrogs and newts, and fish such as bluegills. They
also provide shade and, although frequently confused with them,
can reduce certain light-generated growths of photoautotrophic
algae.  
Use as human food crop  
  
Duckweed is consumed in some parts of Southeast Asia, namely
Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.[6] In addition, it is also
cultivated as a vegetable in Israel.[7] It produces more protein
per square meter than soybeans, contains vitamins (such as B12),
minerals, and carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene), so it is
sometimes cited as a significant potential food source for
humans.[8]  
  
Some initial investigations into what extent duckweed could be
introduced to European markets have shown little consumer
objection to the idea.[9] NASA's Caves of Mars Project
identified duckweed as a top candidate for Martian food
production projects.[10][11]  
  
**Invasive species**  
  
Despite some of these benefits, because duckweed thrives in
high-nutrient wetland environments, the plants can be seen as a
nuisance species when conditions favor excessive proliferation
in environments that are traditionally low in nutrients or
oligotrophic.  
One example of this problem occurs within the Everglades, a
mostly oligotrophic environment, when excess chemicals (that
include fertilizers) are carried by storm runoff, or surface
runoff, into its waterways.[12]  
  
Urban runoff and agricultural pollution then begin to introduce
increased levels of nutrients into the surrounding wetlands and
waterways, which can cause a disruption to native ecology. These
conditions allow for the invasion of a fast growing species such
as duckweed to establish themselves, spread, and displace other
native species such as sawgrass, and over time, result in
widespread changes to the ecology of native sawgrass and slough
habitats within the Everglades.[13]  
  
**Taxonomy**Duckweeds belong to the order Alismatales and the family
Araceae.  is a phylogenetic tree based on ribulose-1,
5-bisphosphate carboxylase large-subunit genes.  is a
schematic ventral view of Spirodela, to show the clonal,
vegetative propagation of duckweeds. Daughter fronds (F1)
originate from the vegetative node (No), from the mother frond
F0 and remain attached to it by the stipule (Sti), which
eventually breaks off, thereby releasing a new plant cluster.
Daughter fronds may already initiate new fronds (F2) themselves
before full maturity. Roots are attached at the prophyllum (P).
(c) shows the progressive reduction from a leaf-like body with
several veins and unbranched roots to a thallus-like morphology
in the Lemnoideae.  
  
The duckweeds have long been a taxonomic mystery, and usually
have been considered to be their own family, the Lemnaceae. They
primarily reproduce asexually. Flowers, if present at all, are
small. Roots are either very much reduced, or absent entirely.
They were suspected of being related to the Araceae as long ago
as 1876, but until the advent of molecular phylogeny, testing
this hypothesis was difficult.  
  
Starting in 1995, studies began to confirm their placement in
the Araceae and since then, most systematists have considered
them to be part of that family,[14] although in 2021,
recognition again as a separate family was proposed.[15]  
Their position within their family has been slightly less
clear; however, several twenty-first century studies place them
in the position shown below.[14] Although they are in the same
family as Pistia, another aquatic plant, they are not closely
related.[14]  
  
The genera of duckweeds are: Spirodela, Landoltia, Lemna,
Wolffiella, and Wolffia.  
  
Duckweed genome sizes have a ten-fold range (150~1,500 MB),
potentially representing diploids to octaploids. The ancestral
genus of Spirodela has the smallest genome size (150 MB, similar
to Arabidopsis thaliana), while the most derived genus, Wolffia,
contains plants with the largest genome size (1,500 MB).[16] DNA
sequencing has shown that Wolffiella and Wolffia are more
closely related than the others. Spirodela is at the basal
position of the taxon, followed by Lemna, Wolffiella, and
Wolffia, which is the most derived.[17]  
  
To identify different duckweed genomes, a DNA-based molecular
identification system was developed based on seven
plastid-markers proposed by the Consortium for the Barcode of
Life.[18] The atpF-atpH non-coding spacer was chosen as a
universal DNA barcoding marker for species-level identification
of duckweeds...  
**Research and applications**Research and applications of duckweeds are promoted by two
international organizations, The International Lemna Association
and the International Steering Committee on Duckweed Research
and Applications.[24]  
  
In July 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome
Institute announced that the Community Sequencing Program would
fund sequencing of the genome of the giant duckweed, Spirodela
polyrhiza. This was a priority project for DOE in 2009. The
research was intended to facilitate new biomass and bioenergy
programs. The results were published in February 2014. They
provide insight into how this plant is adapted to rapid growth
and an aquatic lifestyle.  
  
**Potential clean energy source**  
Duckweed is being studied by researchers around the world as a
possible source of clean energy. In the U.S., in addition to
being the subject of study by the DOE, both Rutgers University
and North Carolina State University have ongoing projects to
determine whether duckweed might be a source of cost-effective,
clean, renewable energy.[27][28] Duckweed is a good candidate as
a biofuel because it grows rapidly, produces five to six times
as much starch as corn per unit of area, and does not contribute
to global warming.The rapid nature of duckweed has shown that it
can double biomass within four and a half days. Duckweed removes
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it may have value for
climate change mitigation.  
  
**Filtration of contaminants and nutrients**  
The plants can provide nitrate removal, if cropped, and the
duckweeds are important in the process of bioremediation because
they grow rapidly, absorbing excess mineral nutrients,
particularly nitrogen and phosphates. For these reasons, they
are touted as water purifiers of untapped value.  
  
The Swiss Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing
Countries, associated with the Swiss Federal Institute for
Environmental Science and Technology, asserts that as well as
the food and agricultural values, duckweed also may be used for
wastewater treatment to capture toxins and for odor control, and
that if a mat of duckweed is maintained during harvesting for
removal of the toxins captured thereby, it prevents the
development of algae and controls the breeding of mosquitoes.
The same publication provides an extensive list of references
for many duckweed-related topics.  
  
These plants also may play a role in conservation of water
because a cover of duckweed will reduce evaporation of water
when compared to the rate of a similarly sized water body with a
clear surface.  
  
Duckweed also functions as a bioremediator by effectively
filtering contaminants such as bacteria, nitrogen, phosphates,
and other nutrients from naturally occurring bodies of water,
constructed wetlands, and wastewater....A start-up, microTERRA, based in Mexico has attempted to use
duckweed to clean the water in privately owned aquaculture
farms. The plants use nitrogen and phosphorus produced from fish
waste as fertilizer, while simultaneously cleaning the water as
it grows. The water can then be reused by the aquaculture
farmers, and the duckweed, which has a 35-42% protein content,
can be harvested as a source of sustainable plant-based
protein....

**METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING NUTRITIOUS
SALT WITH AQUATIC PLANT****JPS57159596**  
PURPOSE:To efficiently
cultivate an aquatic plant all the year round, by supplying
eutrophicated water to the initial-end tank of a module tank
group constructed by a desired number of tanks communicated
together and let contain the aquatic plant in them, and taking
out a grown-up aquatic plant outside the system.
CONSTITUTION:Eutrophicated water is pumped up from a crude water
tank 13 to a high-level water tank 12, and continuously fed into
a module water tank 4a at the initial-end position of a series
of each module 4 in a manner such that the water level is held
constant. As a result, the eutrophicated water 24 is supplied to
each water tank 4 up to a level suitable for cultivation of an
aquatic plant such as a duckweed. A sufficient amount of natural
light penetrates through a roof 1a and a wall 1b into the
interior of a building 1 having closed structure to collect the
natural light. The natural light is irradiated to the aquatic
plant 20 inside each module water tank 4. The proliferated
grown-up aquatic plant 20 is entirely ladled out from the tanks
by every tank unit and discharged outside the system.  
**AQUACULTURE MODE AND IT'S CULTIVATING DEVICE****WO2006060935**  
The invention relates
to a aquaculture mode and it's cultivating device, comprising a
fish-culture tank and so on, wherein one or more read duckweed
or seaweed cultivation beds are placed on the fish-culture tank,
water in the tank is transmitted to the top layer of the
cultivation bed by a pump-line, then flows through each layer of
the cultivation bed. Each layer of the cultivation bed is a
water vessel which has a outlet to the adjacent lower
cultivation bed on the bottom, a layer of read duckweed or
seaweed is cultivated on the water in the vessel A pipe-line to
the fish-culture tank is provided in the bottom bed. The
invention does not only assist to improve the water quality and
utilization radio, but also provide food nutriment, growth and
propagation by metabolism of the plant and animal, thereby
improving utilization radio and productivity greatly and
protecting the environment. The invention can improve
water-utilization radio more than 20 times and improve the
productivity more than 15 times comparing the same area. **Cultivation technology for improving quality of juvenile crabs
in earth pond  
CN116941575**The invention discloses a cultivation technology for
improving the quality of juvenile crabs in a soil pond, which
comprises the following steps: S1, soil pond selection:
selecting a soil pond with the area of 1-4 mu and the water
depth of 1-2.5 m, the soil pond is close to a water source, the
pond shape of the soil pond is square, and the pond bottom of
the soil pond is in a relatively flat state; s2, soil pond
improvement: putting quick lime into the soil pond, adding
water, splashing the quick lime into the pond, adding water into
the quick lime to form slurry, and stirring the slurry with soil
pond mud; a few days before the juvenile crabs enter the pond,
water is injected into the soil pond, whether harmful organisms
exist in the water or not is observed and treated, and duckweed
is planted. According to the method, a cultivator plants the
duckweed at the bottom of the soil pond, the duckweed enables
the interior of the soil pond to be oxygenated, the survival
rate of the juvenile crabs is increased, meanwhile, through the
oxygenation equipment, the pre-buried pipeline and the heating
pipeline, the survival rate of the juvenile crabs is increased,
and the survival rate of the juvenile crabs is increased. The
water quality, the water quantity and the like of the juvenile
crabs are regulated and controlled, the quality of the juvenile
crabs in the soil pond can be effectively improved, quick lime
and water are put into the soil pond for disinfection before the
juvenile crabs are cultivated, and the cleanliness degree in the
soil pond is increased.
