Ocean warming indirectly affects seagrass performance through effects on sediment microbial communities

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Belowground microbes are increasingly recognised as mediators of plant responses to stress, but it remains unclear whether the thermal histories of marine plants and their associated belowground microbes influence plant performance under ocean warming.

The Advantaged Salt Inducible Suaeda salsa SsNRT2.5 and Its Promoter Significantly Enhance Nitrate Transport Efficiency and Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis and Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

Moderate Increase in TCO2 Enhances Photosynthesis of Seagrass Zostera japonica, but Not Zostera marina: Implications for Acidification Mitigation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Photosynthesis and respiration are vital biological processes that shape the diurnal variability of carbonate chemistry in nearshore waters, presumably ameliorating (daytime) or exacerbating (nighttime) short-term acidification events, which are expected

Seasonal growth and reproductive dynamics of Chondrus ocellatus in relation to shore height in the Korean intertidal zone

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY We examined the seasonal growth and reproduction of the carrageenophyte Chondrus ocellatus in Hakampo, Korea (July 2014–April 2015), to understand its adaptation to environmental variability across the intertidal zone. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) growth is greater at the lower shore with reduced stress; (2) gametophytes dominate at the ...

Identification of Two Novel Amalgaviruses in the Common Eelgrass (Zostera marina) and in Silico Analysis of the Amalgavirus +1 Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting Sites

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2018
The genome sequences of two novel monopartite RNA viruses were identified in a common eelgrass (Zostera marina) transcriptome dataset. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses revealed that these two novel viruses belong to the genus Amalgavirus in ...

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Seasonal differences in predation risk among seagrass epifauna species stabilize community‐level predation over time

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Predation risk varies through space and time due to changing refuge quality, predator communities, and prey traits. Despite this, ecological research is often focused on measuring average predation risk at the community level. While this can give important information about overall trophic transfer and ecological efficiency, it ignores ...

Flexible Insulation Mats from Zostera marina Seagrass

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
The dead seagrass leaves accumulated on the seashores, also known as beach (seagrass) wracks, can be considered a sustainable and ecologically beneficial source for application in the construction sector.

An autonomous and economical benthic incubation chamber for measuring dissolved oxygen fluxes in shallow, low‐flow environments

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...
