Invasion of Spartina alterniflora on Zostera japonica enhances the abundances of bacteria by absolute quantification sequencing analysis [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Plant invasion can alter soil organic matter composition and indirectly impact estuary ecology; therefore, it is paramount to understand how plant invasion influences the bacterial community.

Development of microsatellite loci for the endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae). [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2015
Premise of the study:New microsatellite markers were developed for the Asian endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae) to assess genetic diversity and population structure of this species. In China, Z. japonica populations have drastically decreased since the 1970s.Methods and Results:A total of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite ...

Optimal long-term seed storage conditions for the endangered seagrass Zostera japonica: implications for habitat conservation and restoration [PDF]

Plant Methods, 2019
Background Seagrass meadows are recognized as critical and among the most vulnerable habitats on the planet. The alarming rates of decline in seagrass meadows have attracted the attention globally. There is an urgent need to develop techniques to restore

Which Genes in a Typical Intertidal Seagrass (Zostera japonica) Indicate Copper-, Lead-, and Cadmium Pollution? [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Healthy seagrasses are considered a prime indicator of estuarine and coastal ecosystem function; however, as the only group of flowering plants recolonizing the sea, seagrasses are frequently exposed to anthropogenic heavy metal pollutants, which are ...

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes reveals marine adaptation in seagrasses [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Seagrasses are higher marine flowering plants that evolved from terrestrial plants, but returned to the sea during the early evolution of monocotyledons through several separate lineages.

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

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

Role of Seagrass as a Food Source for Benthos in Tidal Flats: Toward Conservation and Restoration of Resilient Ecosystems [PDF]

Animals
Seagrass is a key primary producer in coastal ecosystems; however, most studies on seagrass-benthos interactions have focused on subtidal zones. Some species such as Zostera japonica grow in intertidal flats; however, their ecological functions remain ...

Facultative Annual Life Cycles in Seagrasses [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Plant species usually have either annual or perennial life cycles, but facultative annual species have annual or perennial populations depending on their environment.
