Abstract

A new Lemna minor plant named ‘Henry Blanke’ is provided. The plant is particularly well suited to serve as a biomass renewable energy source. The plant is small in stature but unlike Dwarf Duckweed possesses short roots which well enable the absorption of nutrients present in water. Such short roots also enable the ready separation of adjoining plants. Strong green leaves are displayed. The plant is well able to maintain active biosynthesis under low light conditions. The plant is particularly well suited to metabolize carbon dioxide from emissions with a simultaneous increase of mass.
