Bioactive natural products from marine angiosperms: abundance and functions [PDF]
This review explores the natural products of seagrass that are to be exploited for their bioactive potential. Beside from portraying the presence of a wide array of secondary compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, sterols and lipids from different ...

Occurrence of sulfated galactans in marine angiosperms: evolutionary implications [PDF]
We report for the first time that marine angiosperms (seagrasses) possess sulfated polysaccharides, which are absent in terrestrial and freshwater plants. The structure of the sulfated polysaccharide from the seagrass Ruppia maritima was determined. It is a sulfated D-galactan composed of the following regular tetrasaccharide repeating unit: [3-beta-D ...

Florigen and antiflorigen gene expression correlates with reproductive state in a marine angiosperm, <i>Zostera marina</i>. [PDF]
Summary Florigen and antiflorigen genes within the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family regulate flowering in angiosperms. In eelgrass (Zostera marina), an estuarine foundation species, flowering, and seed production are crucial for ...

Arsenic and selected elements in marine angiosperms, south‐east coast, NSW, Australia [PDF]
AbstractThe leaves of four angiosperm species, the mangrove Avicennia marina, the samphire Sarcocornia quinqueflora, the seablight Suaeda australis and the seagrass Posidonia australis, were sampled from three locations from the south‐east coast of NSW. Mean total arsenic concentrations (mean ± SD) in dry mass for all locations were A. marina (0.38 ± 0.

Inorganic carbon utilization in marine angiosperms (seagrasses)
The mechanisms by which marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, utilize external inorganic carbon (Ci) include, in addition to uptake of CO2 formed spontaneously from HCO3–: (i) extracellular carbonic anhydrasemediated conversion of HCO3– to CO2 at normal seawater pH, or in acid zones created by H+ extrusion, and (ii) H+-driven utilization (direct uptake ...

This work used Δ5-sterols and their degradation products to compare the efficiency of biotic and abiotic degradation processes in senescent Mediterranean marine (Posidonia oceanica) and terrestrial (Quercus ilex and Smilax aspera) angiosperms.

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

The pressures and the ecological quality status of the Marmara Sea (Turkey) by using marine macroalgae and angiosperms [PDF]
In the present study, the Marine Floristic Ecological Index (MARFEI) was tested to assess the impacts by using marine benthic macrophytes and pressures by using the Macroalgae-Land Uses Simplified Index (MA-LUSI) in the Marmara Sea (Turkey).
