Small clones dominate a population of the short-lived perennial seagrass Zostera japonica

Aquatic Botany, 2020
Abstract Clonality and sexual reproduction are important drivers of spatial genetic structure (SGS) in seagrass meadows. However, few genetic studies have focused on the annual or short-lived perennial seagrass Zostera japonica, which has been declining dramatically along coastal regions of China. In this study, we assessed the effects of asexual and

A multivariate comparison of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in monospecific versus mixed populations

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1991
The seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica coexist along a portion of a gradual intertidal gradient at Roberts Bank, British Columbia. Individual comparisons of 11 morphological and 2 population characters for Z. marina did not reveal consistently significant differences between the deeper water monospecific population and the population in ...

Temporal dynamics of subtidal Zostera marina and intertidal Zostera japonica on the southern coast of Korea

Marine Ecology, 2006
AbstractThe temporal dynamics of two seagrass species, Zostera marina and Z. japonica, were monitored monthly in Dadae Bay, Geoje Island, on the southern coast of Korea. Plant morphological characteristics, shoot density, biomass, leaf production, reproductive effort, and environmental characteristics were monitored from July 2001 to July 2002. Zostera

Exploring the leaf regeneration cycles response of Zostera japonica to ocean acidification

Science of The Total Environment
Ocean acidification is one of the major global environmental problems facing humankind today, and it has far-reaching impacts on marine organisms and the entire marine ecosystem. Zostera japonica, an important supporting species of intertidal seagrass beds, exhibits high photosynthetic productivity and plays an important role in the carbon cycle of ...

Isolation and characterization of a SEPALLATA-like gene, ZjMADS1, from marine angiosperm Zostera japonica

Marine Environmental Research, 2012
In flowering plants, floral homeotic MADS-box genes, which constitute a large multigene family, play important roles in the specification of floral organs as defined by the ABCDE model. In this study, a MADS-box gene, ZjMADS1, was isolated and characterized from the marine angiosperm Zostera japonica. The predicted length of the ZjMADS1 protein was 246

Heat-stress induced expression of stress-inducible nucleotide exchange factor Fes1 in seagrass Zostera japonica

Ecotoxicology, 2020
Seagrass meadows are among the four most productive marine natural ecosystems in the world. Zostera japonica (Z. japonica) is the most widely distributed species of seagrass in China. Nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs) promote the release of ADP during heat stress, accelerating the rate-limiting step of Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). Although NEFs play

Interactive biology of two seagrasses, Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn.

2010
The two seagrasses Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica Aschers. and Graebn. coexist in an intertidal region of the south-west coast of British Columbia. At the Roberts Bank study area three vegetation zones were identified; a seaward monospecific zone of Z. marina cover, a zone of mixed Z. marina and Z.

Evidence for interaction between the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica on the Pacific coast of Canada

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1991
Experiments were undertaken to differentiate between abiotic and biotic factors affecting seagrass growth. Monospecific patches of both Zostera marina and Zostera japonica were transplanted into one shallow subtidal and three intertidal sites at Roberts Bank, British Columbia. In transplanted patches, initiated in 1988, neither Z.

Seagrasses (Zostera marina) and (Zostera japonica) Display a Differential Photosynthetic Response to TCO2: Implications for Acidification Mitigation

2016
"Excess atmospheric CO2 is being absorbed at an unprecedented rate by the global and coastal oceans, shifting the baseline pCO2 and altering seawater carbonate chemistry in a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Recent attention has been given to near-shore vegetated habitats, such as seagrass beds, which may have the potential to mitigate the ...

Allozymic implications of the propagation of eelgrass Zostera japonica within a river system

Limnology, 2006
We examined the allozymic variation of Zostera japonica, a seagrass in brackish-water zones, for plant samples collected from the Ohashi River (four localities including nine sampling sites within 7.5km) and Lake Nakaumi (one location), to which it is connected, in Japan to study plant propagation.
