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

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

Flavonoids and anthocyanins in seagrasses: implications for climate change adaptation and resilience [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceSeagrasses 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 BiologyBackground 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 ...

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 ...

Endophytic bacterial community of a Mediterranean marine angiosperm (Posidonia oceanica) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Bacterial endophytes are crucial for the survival of many terrestrial plants, but little is known about the presence and importance of bacterial endophytes of marine plants. We conducted a survey of the endophytic bacterial community of the long-living Mediterranean marine angiosperm Posidonia oceanica in surface-sterilized tissues (roots, rhizomes ...
