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.

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.

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 ...

Microbial communities on eelgrass (Zostera marina) thriving in Tokyo Bay and the possible source of leaf-attached microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is classified as one of the marine angiosperms and is widely distributed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial community structure and diversity of Z.

Vegetation and climate change at the southern margin of the Neo-Tethys during the Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous): Evidence from Egypt.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Changes in terrestrial vegetation during the mid-Cretaceous and their link to climate and environmental change are poorly understood. In this study, we use plant macrofossils and analysis of fossil pollen and spores from the Western Desert, Egypt, to ...

Improved chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the seagrass, Zostera marina (eelgrass) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: Seagrasses (Alismatales) are the only fully marine angiosperms. Zostera marina (eelgrass) plays a crucial role in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems and global carbon sequestration.

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.
