Assessment of duckweed growth rates after variable recovery lengths post salt treatment. An overview of experimental design is shown in (A), mirroring the box (operations) and line (items) scheme used in the Aquarium designer interface. Duckweed were grown in dishes containing growth media with 100 mM NaCl or mock for 16 days. At that point the media were replaced, using fresh, salt-free media. At 0, 2, 4 and 10 days after that point, a few ramets were used to initiate a growth assay (yellow boxes) with three replicates and images taken every 1–2 days for 9 days. Due to scheduling difficulties the final image for the ‘4 days’ dishes was taken after 11 days rather than 9 days. Duckweed surface area within each was calculated in each image and results are shown in (B) (mock) and C (salt-treated) with shared y-axis
