Plant Research Could Benefit Wastewater Treatment, Biofuels and Antibiotics
Duckweed genome discovery reveals how aquatic plants cope in challenging environments
Duckweed as a Cost-competitive Raw Material for Biofuel
The latest episode in the American Chemical Society’s (ACS’) award-winning Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions podcast series describes how the search for a less-expensive, sustainable source of biomass, or plant material, for producing gasoline, diesel and jet fuel has led scientists to duckweed, that fast-growing floating plant that turns ponds and lakes green.
