Hybridization in plants has been researched for a considerable amount of time and in several directions in terms of its role in evolution. However, some of the plants that predominantly propagate by vegetative means have not been in the limelight, in this context, probably due to the scarce availability of sexually propagating lab-based bioresources. One such group of plants is the family Lemnaceae, which is commonly termed as duckweeds or water lentils.

Unambiguous identification of, and establishing phylogenetic relationship between (clonal) accessions of three of the five duckweed (Lemnaceae) genera are difficult because of limited morphological differences and apparent intraspecific variability of genetic features (Bog et al., 2019).
