Inorganic Carbon Acquisition and Photosynthetic Metabolism in Marine Photoautotrophs: A Summary [PDF]

Plants
The diffusive availability of CO2 for photosynthesis is orders of magnitude lower in water than in air. This, and the low affinity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) for CO2, implies that most marine photoautotrophs ...

Unlocking seagrass germination: divergent roles of strigolactones and smoke-water in Zostera marina (Zosteraceae) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Seagrasses, such as Zostera marina, play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems, yet the hormonal regulation of their seed dormancy and germination remains poorly understood. Strigolactones (SL) and karrikins (KAR), two plant growth regulators (PGRs) known

Long distance biotic dispersal of tropical seagrass seeds by marine mega-herbivores

Scientific Reports, 2017
Terrestrial plants use an array of animals as vectors for dispersal, however little is known of biotic dispersal of marine angiosperms such as seagrasses.

Flavonoids and anthocyanins in seagrasses: implications for climate change adaptation and resilience [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Seagrasses are a paraphyletic group of marine angiosperms and retain certain adaptations from the ancestors of all embryophytes in the transition to terrestrial environments.

Seagrass Meadows: Prospective Candidates for Bioactive Molecules [PDF]

Molecules
Seagrass meadows consist of angiosperms that thrive fully submerged in marine environments and form distinct ecosystems. They provide essential support for many organisms, acting as nursery grounds for species of economic importance.
