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

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

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 ...

Are saltmarshes younger than mangrove swamps?
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Temperate saltmarshes and tropical mangrove swamps (mangals) are marine‐influenced, productive ecosystems that enhance nutrient transfers between land and sea and facilitate colonization of lineages between terrestrial and marine habitats.

Correlations of life form, pollination mode and sexual system in aquatic angiosperms.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Aquatic plants are phylogenetically well dispersed across the angiosperms. Reproductive and other life-history traits of aquatic angiosperms are closely associated with specific growth forms.
