Lemnoideae is a subfamily of flowering aquatic plants, known as duckweeds, water lentils, or water lenses. They float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands.

浮萍科（学名：Lemnaceae）是天南星目下一个科，单子叶植物，除北极区外，全球均产之。 浮水、微小草本，生于淡水中；植物体退化为鳞片状体，有根或无根，常以出芽法繁殖。

浮萍亚科 （学名： Lemnoideae）是 澤瀉目 天南星科 的一個亚科，包含有4屬，38種。 此亞科的植物通稱為浮萍。 水生植物，草本，無莖或葉，植株由小型的葉狀體組成，葉狀體漂浮在水面或沉入水面下，有根或無根。 通常以出芽生殖做無性繁殖，偶而會開花做有性生殖， 花 有1雌蕊，2雄蕊（也有人說是由三朵單性花組成的花序）。 果實 為胞果，囊狀的果實內有 種子 和空氣，使其可以在水上漂浮。 無根萍屬的花是世界上最小的花，花長只有0.3毫米。 浮萍科植物是水鳥的重 …

2021年10月11日 · 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 propagation, and facile uptake of labeled compounds from the media were attractive features that made them a well-known model …

2021年7月17日 · 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 propagation, and facile uptake of labeled compounds from the media were attractive features that made them a well-known model for plant biology from 1950 to 1990.

2019年12月16日 · Lemnaceae (commonly known as water lens or duckweed) is a family of monocotyledonous water plants (Landolt, 1986; Landolt and Kandeler, 1987; Sree et al., 2016) characterized by the fastest growth rates among flowering plants …

2010年9月16日 · Members of the aquatic monocot family Lemnaceae (commonly called duckweeds) represent the smallest and fastest growing flowering plants. Their highly reduced morphology and infrequent flowering result in a dearth of characters for distinguishing between the nearly 38 species that exhibit these tiny, closely-related and often morphologically ...

Assessment of the possibility of exoornithochory of duckweeds (Lemnaceae) in the light of researches into the resistance of these plants to desiccation. Ekol. Pol. 29: 405–419.

Lemna.org is a repository of duckweed genome assemblies, annotations, and analysis tools for researchers. We currently host resources for the following clones: We hope to work with the community to add more genomes as the data are made available.

Characters of Lemnaceae: Floating or submerged perennial herbs without roots or with unbranched rhizoids; leafless, monoecious; flower unisexual, naked; staminate flower with one or 2 stamens; pistillate flower with unicarpellary, unilocular; fruit a utricle.
