Soluble sugar component-based quality assessment and SWEET transport family identification uncovering soluble sugar accumulation mechanism in Zostera marina [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceZostera marina L. is a marine medicinal plant with important ecological functions and considerable medicinal value. However, the absence of a systematic quality evaluation system has limited the development and utilization of its medicinal resources.

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. In this study, we report the results of a global effort to characterize the fungi associated with the seagrass Zostera marina

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 ...

Short-term focus: phased response of Zostera marina seedlings to the combined stress of marine heatwave and ocean acidification [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyMarine heat wave (MHW) and ocean acidification (OA) caused by global climate change occur frequently and intensify, which cause damage to the stability of seagrass bed.

Ammonium toxicity in eelgrass Zostera marina [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 1997 Seagrasses are declining all over the world, resulting in a substantial loss of biodiversity, coastal sediment stabilization and nursery areas of economically important fish. The seagrass decline has often been associated with increasing eutrophication of coastal areas. We tested possible toxic effects of high nitrogen concentrations in the water layer

Dual Regulation of Ionic Effect on Zostera marina L. Seed Germination and Leaf Differentiation in Low-Salinity Conditions [PDF]
PlantsLow-salinity conditions are generally used in land-based cultivation to promote the germination and growth of Zostera marina L. and to improve the restoration effect of seagrass beds.

Biotic dispersal in eelgrass Zostera marina [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2012 Dispersal is a critical process in the life history of nearly all plant species and can be facili - tated by both abiotic and biotic mechanisms. Despite an abundance of vertebrate fauna utilizing seagrass meadows as a feeding area and thus capable of consuming and excreting seeds, little work has been conducted on biotic seed dispersal mechanisms.
