Improving biomass and starch accumulation of bioenergy crop duckweed (Landoltia punctata) by abscisic acid application

Abstract Duckweed is a valuable feedstock for bioethanol production due to its high biomass and starch accumulation. In our preliminary experiment, we found that abscisic acid (ABA) could simultaneously increase starch and biomass accumulation of duckweed, but the mechanisms are still unclear. The r...
