Improved chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the seagrass, Zostera marina (eelgrass)
F1000Research, 2021 Background: Seagrasses (Alismatales) are the only fully marine angiosperms. Zostera marina (eelgrass) plays a crucial role in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems and global carbon sequestration.

Eelgrass detritus as a food source for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Selenka (Echinidermata: Holothuroidea) in coastal waters of North China: an experimental study in flow-through systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Eelgrass ecosystems have a wide variety of ecological functions in which living tissues and detritus may be a food source for many marine animals. In this study, we conducted a laboratory simulating experiment to understand the trophic relationship ...

Role of nitric oxide in response to high salinity in eelgrass
Current Plant Biology, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential molecule for plants, and we have found that NO is mainly synthesized by the nitrate reductase (NR) pathway in eelgrass.

Small-scale heterogeneity of fish diversity evaluated by environmental DNA analysis in eelgrass beds
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2022 : Seagrass beds are a target for conservation worldwide and are frequently the focus of bioassessment and biomonitoring surveys. However, these surveys often employ destructive methods and involve considerable effort and cost. Recently, environmental DNA

Biomass-Cover Relationship for Eelgrass Meadows [PDF]
Estuaries and Coasts, 2015 Eelgrass meadows play key roles in coastal ecosystems, and the extent of the standing biomass is focal to address ecosystem functioning. Eelgrass cover is commonly assessed in marine monitoring programs while biomass sampling is destructive and expensive.

Warming northward shifting southern limits of the iconic temperate seagrass (Zostera marina)
iScience, 2022 Summary: Global warming can shift the range edges of numerous species poleward. Here, eelgrass distribution was reinvestigated at its southern limits on the eastern coast of China, which indicated that there has been a northward shift in the southern ...

Global-Scale Structure of the Eelgrass Microbiome [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016 ABSTRACT Plant-associated microorganisms are essential for their hosts' survival and performance. Yet, most plant microbiome studies to date have focused on terrestrial species sampled across relatively small spatial scales. Here, we report the results of a global-scale analysis of microbial communities associated

Nutrient Addition Has a Stronger Effect Than Intraspecific Genetic Diversity on Critical Ecological Responses in a Salt Marsh Foundation Species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIntraspecific genetic diversity of a foundation species did not affect plant traits at a local scale, or resilience to nutrient inputs. However, variation among clones in response to nutrient enrichment and intraspecific genetic diversity supports the idea that genetic variation may still be important at larger spatial scales.
