Reproductive Strategies of the Seagrass Zostera japonica Under Different Geographic Conditions in Northern China [PDF]
Seagrasses form a unique group of submerged marine angiosperms capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. The amounts of sexual and asexual reproduction differ within some species relying on geographic location and environmental factors.

Novel insights into the rhizosphere and seawater microbiome of Zostera marina in diverse mariculture zones [PDF]
Background Seagrasses offer various ecosystem services and possess high levels of primary productivity. However, the development of mariculture has affected the homeostasis of seagrass meadow ecosystems.

Uncovering the Nanozostera japonica species complex suggests cryptic speciation and underestimated seagrass diversity. [PDF]
Summary The importance of marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, as foundation species for marine coastal ecosystems is in marked contrast to their low species number of only 70 described taxa. Seagrass species tend to have very similar overall morphologies dictated by hydrodynamic forces of the ocean environment.

14-3-3 Gene of Zostera Japonica ZjGRF1 Participates in Gibberellin Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Abstract Background Zostera japonica (Z. japonica) is a unique seagrass species in Asia, which has important ecological value. Gibberellin is an important plant hormone, which plays an important role in the regulation of plant growth and development, including seed longevity, seed germination, anti-aging, hypocotyl elongation, leaf development,

Gibberellic acid and light effects on seed germination in the seagrass Zostera marina. [PDF]
Abstract Seagrass meadows have been heavily affected by human activities, with Zostera marina L. (Zosteraceae) being one of the most impacted species. Seedābased methods are currently the preferred approach for their restoration, yet low germination rates and poor seedling establishment remain significant challenges.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Seagrass Habitat Based on Remote Sensing Data: Focusing on Wan Island [PDF]
In May 2019, UAV photogrammetry using drones (unmanned aircraft) was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of the seagrass habitat in Wan Island. Wan Is. sea was divided into 3 geographical areas (Site A, B, C) by referring to

Spatial Distribution and Ecological Characteristics of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in the Seomjin Estuary [PDF]
Among common estuarine submerged plants, seagrasses are the most extensively studied due to their ecological importance in estuarine ecosystems. Seagrass meadows are important biological habitats for a wide variety of marine animals and plants. They are a source of organic carbon for commercially important animals.

Coexistence between Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in seagrass beds of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan [PDF]
There have been many studies on the growth conditions of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica, but few studies have examined how spatial and temporal factors affect growth in established seagrass beds or the distribution range and shoot density. This study aims to clarify the factors that determine the temporal and spatial distribution of Zostera marina
