Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

SUMMARY Assessing the potential for macroalgae to function as a carbon sink (blue carbon) and nitrogen (N) assimilation is under intensive investigation. The content of elemental carbon (C) and N in macroalgae is the best indicator of their potential; however, with respect to the thallus, C and N content varies in space and time.

Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems
SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...
