Wound-induced accumulations of condensed tannins in turtlegrass, Thalassia testudinum
Aquatic Botany, 2008Abstract Turtlegrass, Thalassia testudinum, produces high concentrations of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) which we hypothesized are induced by grazing, as a component of a general wound response. To test this we quantified condensed tannins in a variety of turtlegrass tissues following simulated fish grazing, grazing by the urchin Lytechinus ...

Photosynthetic activity detected in the seed epidermis of Thalassia testudinum
Aquatic Botany, 2017Abstract Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that have evolved from terrestrial ancestors. Photosynthetic activity on seed has been studied before in Posidonia genus. T. testudinum and P. oceanica share some evolutionary aspects as they live in more stable environments. As in P. oceanica , T.

The effects of cropping on the growth of Thalassia testudinum (König) in Jamaica
Aquaculture, 1974Abstract A study of blade growth in Thalassia testudinum has been carried out in order to evaluate the production potential of this seagrass in Jamaica. Summer and winter values of day length and water temperature differ by 2 h and 2.5°C respectively, and monthly variation in the growth rates of Thalassia shoots is small.

The origin of nitrogen and phosphorus for growth of the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum
Marine Biology, 1972How are high rates of production by Thalassia testudinum Konig maintained in notably nutrient-poor tropical waters? Yield-nutrient supply correlations indicate that a singnificant proportion of the phosphorus, and virtually all nitrogen for leaf growth are taken-up from the sediments, and that growth is generally limited by availability of nitrogen ...

Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König) — A Seagrass
1988Seagrasses are aquatic angiosperms that live and complete their life cycles totally submerged in a saline-to-brackish medium (Thayer et al. 1975). They are unique in that they are the only land plants that have totally returned to the sea. Although not true grasses, their habit of ribbon-like leaves results in meadows or beds resembling terrestrial ...
