Comparison of the populational characteristics of Lemna minuta (ARACEAE: LEMNOIDEAE) in three culture media

Although neotropical macrophytes are considered appropriate for diverse applications due to their great reproductive capacity and high sensitivity to changing environmental conditions, research on these plants is currently scarce, especially in Colombia when compared to countries such as Brazil. The current research work intended to acclimatize and cultivate a clone of the duckweed Lemna minuta, which is widely distributed in Colombia and America. After keeping daughter fronds of this species for
