In this practical, we explore the environmental factors that drive plant productivity by using duckweed ( Lemna spp.) as our fast-growing model organism. This video walks you through Experiment 1: The Impacts of Light Conditions and Nutrient Solutions on Duckweed Growth and Physiological Responses. We investigate how external environmenta

In this class, we delve into the world of Duckweed ( Lemna spp.), a fast-growing aquatic model organism used to study how cellular processes in the chloroplast and mitochondrion translate to whole-plant performance and crop yield. Through this experiments, students need to manipulate environmental variables to understand how external factor

Light is one of the most fundamental factors driving plant growth, yet it is often oversimplified as just “sunlight.” In reality, light is a complex form of energy with multiple dimensions that directly influence plant physiology, productivity, and agricultural innovation. 🌟 What is Light? Light is a form of radiant energy  that travels incredibly fast—about 300,000 km per second . It has a unique dual nature , meaning it behaves as both: A wave  (like ocean waves or sound w
