| Description | There has been growing interest in finding 'second generation' alternatives to food crops that "don't grow on arable land and instead can be used specifically for bio fuels," says Professor Rob Martienssen of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Laurel Hollow, New York. One promising candidate is a "superweed" called duckweed, the smallest flowering plant in the world. "We're interested in using or optimizing duckweed for use as a biomass bio fuel based on its ability to grow on waste water and water in places which you would never imagine crops would grow," Martienssen tells Big Think. |
