Biodiversity of epiphytic macroalgae (Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta, and Rhodophyta) on leaves of Zostera marina in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2019 The composition, abundance, and distribution of epiphytic macroalgae living in meadows of Zostera marina L. in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula are here analyzed. We identified 63 species: 40 red algae, 16 brown algae, and 7 green algae.

Ocean current patterns drive the worldwide colonization of eelgrass (Zostera marina). [PDF]
Nat Plants, 2023 Currents are unique drivers of oceanic phylogeography and thus determine the distribution of marine coastal species, along with past glaciations and sea-level changes. Here we reconstruct the worldwide colonization history of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.),

Insights into the regulation of energy metabolism during the seed-to-seedling transition in marine angiosperm Zostera marina L.: Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2023 Seed development is a crucial phase in the life cycle of seed-propagated plants. As the only group of angiosperms that evolved from terrestrial plants to complete their life cycle submerged in marine environments, the mechanisms underlying seed ...

Improved chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the seagrass, Zostera marina (eelgrass). [PDF]
F1000Res, 2021 Background: Seagrasses (Alismatales) are the only fully marine angiosperms. Zostera marina (eelgrass) plays a crucial role in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems and global carbon sequestration.

Global Diversity and Biogeography of the Zostera marina Mycobiome. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Fungi have important functional roles when associated with land plants, yet very little is known about the roles of fungi associated with marine plants, like seagrasses.

Recovery and Community Succession of the Zostera marina Rhizobiome after Transplantation. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Seagrasses are important coastal species that are declining globally, and transplantation can be used to combat these declines. However, the bacterial communities associated with seagrass rhizospheres and roots (the microbiome) are often disturbed or ...

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates—A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output? [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOver the past few decades, several invasive tunicate species have become pervasive pests in many of New England's coastal habitats. Their aggressive fouling can have detrimental effects on photosynthesis and growth of eelgrass, Zostera marina L ...
