Substrate characteristics and species diversity of marine angiosperms in a micro-tidal basin estuary on the west coast of Sri Lanka [PDF]

, 2010
Diversity of marine angiosperm species (seagrasses) at Kadolkele in Meegamuwa (Negombo) estuary was studied with a view to understanding the effect of substrate characteristics on diversity. Seagrass samples were obtained along three line transects, laid

Benthic-Pelagic Coupling of Marine Primary Producers Under Different Natural and Human-Induced Pressures’ Regimes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine primary producers are highly sensitive to environmental deterioration caused by natural and human-induced stressors. Following the Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive requirements, the importance of using the ...

Long distance biotic dispersal of tropical seagrass seeds by marine mega-herbivores

Scientific Reports, 2017
Terrestrial plants use an array of animals as vectors for dispersal, however little is known of biotic dispersal of marine angiosperms such as seagrasses.

Synchronized anthesis and predation on pollen in the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum (Hydrocharitaceae) [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008
Synchrony in the anthesis of male and female flowers of the hydrophilous dioecious marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum was studied by following flower buds of 64 staminate and 34 carpellate flowers in situ during night and day to observe the timing of flower opening.

Flavonoids and anthocyanins in seagrasses: implications for climate change adaptation and resilience [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Seagrasses are a paraphyletic group of marine angiosperms and retain certain adaptations from the ancestors of all embryophytes in the transition to terrestrial environments.

Analysis of Polyphenolic Content in Marine and Aquatic Angiosperms From Norwegian Coastal Waters, 2016

, 2019
In this work, the polyphenolic content in extracts of Zostera marina L., Zostera noltii Hornemann, Ruppia cirrhosa (Petagna) Grande and Ruppia maritima L. from Norwegian coastal waters was characterized for the first time. In Z. marina and Z. noltii fifteen different flavones, as well as rosmarinic acid were identified. Eight of the flavones were found

Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the HSP70 gene family in seagrass Zostera marina under abiotic stress [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background 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 ...

A unique meadow of the marine angiosperm Zostera japonica, covering a large area in the turbid intertidal Yellow River Delta, China

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Marine submerged aquatic angiosperms (seagrasses) are declining globally. The species Zostera japonica Asch. & Graebn. is endangered in its native range in Asia, but has been successfully introduced to North America.
