RESUMO

Lemna protein per frond and per root increases with developmental stage until plants are at least two generations old. Protein per frond, per root, and per unit dry weight is greater in plants grown at 23.9 C than at 18.3 C. More protein is found in fronds than in roots, and more nitrate occurs in roots than in fronds. Nitrate per root increases with developmental stage and is higher (per root) in plants grown at 23.9 C than in those grown at 18.3 C. The distribution of generations within a growing population is constant for at least eight doubling times. Whether populations multiply slowly at 15.6 C or more rapidly at 23.9 C, fronds which have not yet produced progeny form 62% of the population; fronds which are one generation old form 24% of the population; and fronds which are two generations old form 9% of the population.
