Genomics: To be (or not to be) a duckweed

Klaus F.X. Mayer, Georg Haberer

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

Duckweeds are among the smallest and fastest-growing flowering plants. In a new study that combines experimental data with phylogenomic comparisons across the clade, the authors explore how changes in gene content, epigenetic pathways, and their interplay shaped the body plan, aquatic lifestyle, and clonal growth habit of this plant family.
