Duckweed was cultivated under 0, 10, and 100 mM NaCl, followed by Orbitrap metabolomic profiling, nanoparticle synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Orbitrap analysis revealed pronounced salinity-dependent changes in extract composition, including increased abundance of several flavonoids, glycosylated flavones, and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives in the order 0 &lt; 10 &lt; 100 mM. ZnO nanoparticle formation was supported by UV\u2013Vis spectroscopy, which showed characteristic absorption features around 360 nm, and by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), which indicated the predominance of the hexagonal wurtzite ZnO phase in all samples. SEM\u2013EDS analysis revealed Zn- and O-rich materials consisting of micron-scale aggregates and finer submicron structures. Raman spectra were dominated by fluorescence, which increased with salinity treatment and may reflect differences in surface-associated phytochemicals rather than substantial changes in the ZnO crystal structure. Nanoparticles synthesized using extracts from salt-stressed duckweed exhibited higher total phenolic content (up to 66.79 \u00b1 0.15 \u00b5M GAE g\u22121), antioxidant activity (up to 55.01 \u00b1 0.21%), and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus haemolyticus D4-2-100\/1 (inhibition zone up to 1.55 \u00b1 0.05 cm). Although the mechanisms underlying these differences remain to be fully elucidated, the results suggest that salinity-induced changes in duckweed metabolism may influence the biological properties of the resulting nanomaterials. Overall, this study highlights the potential of manipulating cultivation conditions to modulate plant extract composition and, consequently, influence the characteristics and functionality of green-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31132326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T14:51:25Z","timestamp":1783003885000},"page":"2326","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Role of Phenolic Profile of Salt-Stressed Duckweed (Lemna minor) in Synthesis and Biological Activity of Green ZnO Nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7683-5499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikola","family":"Stamenkovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7887-6183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filip","family":"Nikoli\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Mati\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7647-7399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dragana","family":"Antoni\u0107 Reljin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6960-6228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marija","family":"Milovan\u010devi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9976-6003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Danijela","family":"Paunovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3179-5005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Radulovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d\u2014National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21477","DOI":"10.1007\/s13399-025-06706-2","article-title":"Duckweed Extract-Mediated Green Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles and Its Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Photocatalytic Properties","volume":"15","author":"Shukla","year":"2025","journal-title":"Biomass Convers.
