The paper analyzes duckweed clones to resolve taxonomic relationships and finds triploidy is common, with implications for classification and evolution.

The paper documents meiosis in Lemna species, identifies unreduced male gametes, and explores their implications for hybrid formation and evolution.

This study investigates sexual reproduction in duckweed hybrids, finding that only established allotetraploids can reproduce sexually, suggesting they may drive speciation.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity and phylogeny of Alatae Lemna species, revealing ploidy variation, hybridization, and taxonomic clarification of accessions.

The paper reports the first natural distribution record of the hybrid Lemna x mediterranea in Southern Italy and describes its genetic and ecological characteristics.
