This Tiny Plant Has Huge Potential for Food, Fuel, and Climate Solutions

Duckweed might be the world’s most underestimated plant. Thriving in water and rich in potential, this fast-growing aquatic wonder could help revolutionize farming, fuel, and even climate tech. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked the genetic code of five duckweed species, revealing genes behind its rootless nature, super-efficient carbon capture, and ability to [...]

Food and fuel that farms itself: Genome sequences of five duckweed species reveal basis for unique plant traits

Under the right conditions, duckweed essentially farms itself. Wastewater, ponds, puddles, swamps-you name it. If there's enough sunlight and carbon dioxide, the aquatic plant can grow freely. But that's not all that makes it intriguing. Packed inside duckweed's tiny fronds is enormous potential as a soil enricher, a fuel source, protein-rich foods, and more. New findings at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) could help bring all that potentia…
