Uncovering the Nanozostera japonica species complex suggests cryptic speciation and underestimated seagrass diversity. [PDF]

New Phytol
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.

Gibberellic acid and light effects on seed germination in the seagrass Zostera marina. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
Abstract Seagrass meadows have been heavily affected by human activities, with Zostera marina L. (Zosteraceae) being one of the most impacted species. Seed‐based methods are currently the preferred approach for their restoration, yet low germination rates and poor seedling establishment remain significant challenges.

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

Seagrasses At The Islands Iturup And Urup Of Kuril Archipelago

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2023
The islands Iturup and Urup of Kuril Archipelago have been understudied in respect of seagrasses. The research aimed to fill this gap. In 2019 during the expedition of the Russian Geographical Society a part of the coastline has been surveyed by walking,

Phylogenetic phytogeography of selected groups of seagrasses (Monocotylendoneae - Alismatales) based on analysing of genes 5.8S rRNA and RuBisCo large subunit

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2022
Seagrasses are representatives of the families Cymodoceaceae, Posidoniaceae, Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae (Monocotylendoneae - Alismatales), adapted to growing in seawaters and all their important life circle events are taking place under the water ...

A fine-tuned global distribution dataset of marine forests [PDF]

, 2020
Species distribution records are a prerequisite to follow climate-induced range shifts across space and time. However, synthesizing information from various sources such as peer-reviewed literature, herbaria, digital repositories and citizen science ...

Seasonal and Interannual Variability in the Phenolic Content of the Seagrass Nanozostera noltei: Characterization of Suitable Candidates for the Monitoring of Seagrass Health

Diversity, 2023
Developing early warning indicators to accurately detect ecosystem disturbances is vital for enhancing ecosystem management. The seasonal and interannual variability of the phenolic content of Nanozostera noltei from Arcachon Bay, France, was explored ...

Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable formation ...

Environmental DNA of aquatic macrophytes: The potential for reconstructing past and present vegetation and environments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 1929-1950, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Environmental DNA is increasingly being used to reconstruct past and present biodiversity including from freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are especially good environmental indicators, thus their environmental DNA palaeorecord might shed light on past postglacial environments.

The Cell Wall of Seagrasses: Fascinating, Peculiar and a Blank Canvas for Future Research

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seegrasses are a polyphyletic group of angiosperm plants, which evolved from early monocotyledonous land plants and returned to the marine environment around 140 million years ago.
