Light Stress Responses by the Eelgrass, Zostera marina (L)
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 Zostera marina is the dominant seagrass species in the Northern Hemisphere where it grows in sheltered bays and estuaries. As a consequence of its distribution its conservation is commonly threatened by poor coastal water quality.

Unlocking seagrass germination: divergent roles of strigolactones and smoke-water in Zostera marina (Zosteraceae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceSeagrasses, such as Zostera marina, play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems, yet the hormonal regulation of their seed dormancy and germination remains poorly understood. Strigolactones (SL) and karrikins (KAR), two plant growth regulators (PGRs) known
