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 ...

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,

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.

Inorganic carbon utilization in marine angiosperms (seagrasses)
Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2002 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 ...

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.
