Adjuvants Affect Duckweed (Lemna minor) Control with Pelargonic Acid
Duckweeds (Lemna spp.) are small, free floating aquatic plants that flourish on stagnant or slow moving water surfaces throughout the world. Members of the genus are among the smallest flowering plants, providing food for fish and fowl, but their aggressive growth and invasive tendencies make them formidable aquatic weeds, which when uncontrolled can result in oxygen depletion, fish kills, and ...
متن کاملDuckweed (Lemna minor) as a Model Plant System for the Study of Human Microbial Pathogenesis
BACKGROUND Plant infection models provide certain advantages over animal models in the study of pathogenesis. However, current plant models face some limitations, e.g., plant and pathogen cannot co-culture in a contained environment. Development of such a plant model is needed to better illustrate host-pathogen interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We describe a novel model plant syste...
متن کاملUptake and transformation of phenols by duckweed (Lemna gibba)
Phenol and its derivatives are common constituents of numerous natural and synthetic chemicals including pesticides. As a consequence of anthropological activities, a portion of them may reach various water bodies as contaminants which will have a great impact on the aquatic environment including biota. Aquatic plants are known to be one of the major habitants and food for many species and henc...
متن کاملEvaluation of environmental bacterial communities as a factor affecting the growth of duckweed Lemna minor
BACKGROUND Duckweed (family Lemnaceae) has recently been recognized as an ideal biomass feedstock for biofuel production due to its rapid growth and high starch content, which inspired interest in improving their productivity. Since microbes that co-exist with plants are known to have significant effects on their growth according to the previous studies for terrestrial plants, this study has at...
متن کاملEffect of copper on the toxicity and genotoxicity of cadmium in duckweed (lemna minor L.).
We investigated interactions between copper (in the concentrations of 2.5 μmol L-1 and 5 μmol L-1) and cadmium (5 μmol L-1) in common duckweed (Lemna minor L.) by exposing it to either metal or to their combinations for four or seven days. Their uptake increased with time, but it was lower in plants treated with combinations of metals than in plants treated with either metal given alone. In sep...
