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

Cretaceous moss-cyanobacteria association reveals trophic interactions in polar forests of Antarctica. [PDF]

New Phytol
Kimmerera cyanifera gen. et sp. nov. with associated cyanobacteria, holotype UWBM 116051. Summary Through symbiotic associations with microbes, mosses play many important ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems, such as facilitating trophic interactions and nitrogen cycling.

Structural and spectral adaptation of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica photosystem I to seabed light [PDF]

Nature Communications
Seagrasses are marine angiosperms re-adapted to underwater life, forming productive ecosystems and long-term carbon sinks. Posidonia oceanica thrives up to 50 m depth, where light is scarce and spectrally shifted; yet, the molecular basis of its ...

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.

Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the HSP70 gene family in seagrass Zostera marina under abiotic stress [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Seagrasses represent a distinctive clade of angiosperms adapted to marine ecosystems. As essential molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) plays a critical role in protein folding, stabilization, and maturation, thereby supporting ...

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Bioactive Compounds from Seaweeds, Bryozoans, Jellyfish, Shellfish and Peanut Worms

Marine Drugs, 2023
Inflammation is a defense mechanism of the body in response to harmful stimuli such as pathogens, damaged cells, toxic compounds or radiation. However, chronic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases.

Profiling the cell walls of seagrasses from A (Amphibolis) to Z (Zostera)

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background The polyphyletic group of seagrasses shows an evolutionary history from early monocotyledonous land plants to the marine environment. Seagrasses form important coastal ecosystems worldwide and large amounts of seagrass detritus washed on ...

Management and Exploitation of Macroalgal Biomass as a Tool for the Recovery of Transitional Water Systems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Aquatic angiosperms favor the development of ecosystems services, the welfare of marine organisms and people. Generally, the presence of angiosperms in transitional water systems (TWS) are indicators of good ecosystem status.
