Physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Common Duckweed <i>Lemna minor</i> after the Exposure to Tetracycline and the Recovery from This Stress

In this study, the ability of <i>Lemna minor</i> L. to recover to normal growth, after being degraded in a tetracycline-containing medium, was extensively investigated. The plants were exposed to tetracycline (TC) at concentrations of 1, 2.5, and 10 mM. Subsequently, their physiological...
