Bioactive natural products from marine angiosperms: abundance and functions [PDF]
Nat Prod Bioprospect, 2013 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 seagrass species, the focus is on novel natural products projecting towards their biological applications.

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 ...

Rare long‐distance dispersal of a marine angiosperm across the Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 AbstractAimLong‐distance dispersal (LDD) events occur rarely but play a fundamental role in shaping species biogeography. Lying at the heart of island biogeography theory, LDD relies on unusual events to facilitate colonization of new habitats and range expansion.

Mutualistic relationships in marine angiosperms: Enhanced germination of seeds by mega‐herbivores [PDF]
Biotropica, 2021 AbstractAngiosperms have co‐evolved with animals over thousands of years leading to an array of mutualistic relationships. Passage of plant seeds through animal intestines leads to an important mutualism providing the animal with food and the plant with seed dispersal and enhanced germination. This phenomenon is well studied in terrestrial angiosperms,

Distinct Endophytic Bacterial Communities Inhabiting Seagrass Seeds
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that can live completely or partially submerged in water and perform a variety of significant ecosystem services. Like terrestrial angiosperms, seagrasses can reproduce sexually and, the pollinated female flower develop ...

The Cell Wall of Seagrasses: Fascinating, Peculiar and a Blank Canvas for Future Research
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Seegrasses are a polyphyletic group of angiosperm plants, which evolved from early monocotyledonous land plants and returned to the marine environment around 140 million years ago.
