Duckweed: a starch-hyperaccumulating plant under cultivation with a combination of nutrient limitation and elevated CO2 by Ling Guo, Ling Guo, Yang Fang, Songhu Wang, Yao Xiao, Yanqiang Ding, Yanling Jin, Xueping Tian, Anping Du, Zhihua Liao, Kaize He, Shuang Chen, Yonggui Zhao, Li Tan, Zhuolin Yi, Yuqing Che, Lanchai Chen, Jinmeng Li, Leyi Zhao, Peng Zhang, Zhengbiao Gu, Fangyuan Zhang, Yan Hong, Qing Zhang, Hai Zhao

“…In this study, we integrated whole-genome sequencing, epigenomics, transcriptomics, enzyme activity, and composition variation to elucidate the mechanisms of efficient starch accumulation in duckweed in terms of starch accumulation and carbon partitioning, regulation of the expression of genes in the starch metabolic pathway, and sucrose biosynthesis and transportation.Results and discussionAlthough Landoltia punctata exhibits dramatic gene family contraction, its starch content and productivity reached 72.2% (dry basis) and 10.4 g m-2 d-1, respectively, in 10 days, equivalent to a yield of 38.0 t ha-1 y-1, under nutrient limitation treatment with elevated CO2 levels. …”
