Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Bioactive Compounds from Seaweeds, Bryozoans, Jellyfish, Shellfish and Peanut Worms

Marine Drugs, 2023
Inflammation is a defense mechanism of the body in response to harmful stimuli such as pathogens, damaged cells, toxic compounds or radiation. However, chronic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases.

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 ...

Management and Exploitation of Macroalgal Biomass as a Tool for the Recovery of Transitional Water Systems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Aquatic angiosperms favor the development of ecosystems services, the welfare of marine organisms and people. Generally, the presence of angiosperms in transitional water systems (TWS) are indicators of good ecosystem status.

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.

Microbial Life Inside Posidonia Seeds: Beneficial Endophytes and Implications for Marine Plant Health. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

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.

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 ...
