Characterizing host-pathogen interactions between Zostera marina and Labyrinthula zosterae
IntroductionSeagrass meadows serve as an integral component of coastal ecosystems but are declining rapidly due to numerous anthropogenic stressors including climate change. Eelgrass wasting disease, caused by opportunistic Labyrinthula spp., is an increasing concern with rising seawater temperature.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) serve as the first line of defense in the plant antioxidant enzyme system, and play a primary role in the removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Genetic distance predicts trait differentiation at the subpopulation but not the individual level in eelgrass, Zostera marina. [PDF]
Ecological studies often assume that genetically similar individuals will be more similar in phenotypic traits, such that genetic diversity can serve as a proxy for trait diversity.

CONDITIONS OF FORMING FOR THERAPEUTIC MUD IN THE VOEVODA BAY (AMUR BAY, JAPAN SEA)
The water dynamics and distribution of the sea grass Zostera marina are investigated as factors of the curative mud forming in the Voevoda Bay. The water currents are measured directly.

Light is more important than nutrient ratios of fertilization for cymodocea nodosa seedling development [PDF]
Restoration of seagrass beds through seedlings is an alternative to the transplantation of adult plants that reduces the impact over donor areas and increases the genetic variability of restored meadows.

The role of sexual reproduction in the maintenance of established Zostera marina meadows
For clonal plants, the role of sexual reproduction in the maintenance of populations can vary widely. Some species are dependent on repeated seedling recruitment.

Effects of CO2 enrichment on photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen metabolism of the seagrass Zostera noltii [PDF]
Seagrass ecosystems are expected to benefit from the global increase in CO2 in the ocean because the photosynthetic rate of these plants may be C-i-limited at the current CO2 level.

An index to assess and monitor the progression of wasting disease in eelgrass Zostera marina [PDF]
An index based on rapid visual determination of the relative amount of necrotic tissue on eelgrass shoots infected with wasting disease is described.

Wasting Disease of Zostera marina [PDF]
IN Dr. Kathleen B. Blackburn's letter on this subject1, the conclusion seems well established, through a study of the chromosomes, that the narrow-leaved form of the eelgrass (grass wrack), which has in many of the diseased areas replaced the larger and broader type of plant, is clearly a form of Z. marina and not a hybrid of Z. marina and Z.
