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 …

Plant evolution has been characterised by a series of major novelties in their vegetative and
reproductive traits that have led to greater complexity. Underpinning this diversification has …

To conserve water in arid environments, numerous plant lineages have independently
evolved Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). Interestingly, Isoetes, an aquatic lycophyte …

We present chromosome-level genome assemblies from representative species of three
independently evolved seagrass lineages: Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa …

Tiny aquatic plants from the Lemnaceae family, commonly known as duckweeds, are often
regarded as detrimental to the environment because of their ability to quickly populate and …

Duckweeds are amongst the fastest growing of higher plants, making them attractive high‐
biomass targets for biofuel feedstock production. Their fronds have high rates of fatty acid …

Understanding the response of plants to varied gravitational conditions is vital for
developing effective food production in space bioregenerative life support systems. This …

Over 15 families of aquatic plants are known to use a strategy of developmental switching
upon environmental stress to produce dormant propagules called turions. However, few …

Usually, chromosome sets (karyotypes) and genome sizes are rather stable for distinct
species and therefore of diagnostic value for taxonomy. In combination with (cyto) genomics …

Summary ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 1 (EDS1) mediates the induction of
defense responses against pathogens in most angiosperms. However, it has recently been …
