Chloroplast genomic comparison provides insights into the evolution of seagrasses [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of monocotyledonous angiosperms that have evolved to live entirely submerged in marine waters. Thus, these species are ideal for studying plant adaptation to marine environments.

Uncovering the Nanozostera japonica species complex suggests cryptic speciation and underestimated seagrass diversity [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2086-2097, September 2025.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]
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 2, March/April 2025.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.

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.

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2574-2587, March 2026.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 ...

Unconventional Germination in Terrestrial Plants: A Counterintuitive Case in Desiccation-Sensitive Garcinia aristata (Clusiaceae) Seeds Showing Seedling Growth Without Roots [PDF]
PlantsUnconventional germination, wherein shoots emerge and establish true leaves before the root emerges, is only found in Zosteraceae. In Garcinia, germination proceeds with the primary root emerging, followed by shoot emergence on the opposite side, but ...

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.
