PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1358-1371, November 2024.New sources of essential and other nutritionally and/or pharmacologically important fatty acids for human use can be discovered through bioprospecting. Demonstrating how fatty acids in plants and algae are distributed across a phylogeny is a critical first step in this process.

Development of microsatellite loci for the endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae)
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2015 Premise of the study:New microsatellite markers were developed for the Asian endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae) to assess genetic diversity and population structure of this species. In China, Z. japonica populations have drastically decreased since the 1970s.Methods and Results:A total of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract Genetic diversity can modulate a population's response to a changing environment and plays a critical role in its ecological function. While multiple processes act to maintain genetic diversity, sexual reproduction remains the primary driving force.

Seagrass Meadows and Conservation [PDF]
, 2012 Seagrasses are submerged monocotyleodnous flowering plants adapted to complete their life cycle below the sea surface. They harbour rich diversity of marine flora and fauna of commercial imprtance; and help prevent beach erosioan and siltation.

Flavonoids derived from medicinal plants as a COVID‐19 treatment
Phytotherapy Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 1589-1609, March 2024.Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) causes COVID‐19 disease. Through its viral spike (S) protein, the virus enters and infects epithelial cells by utilizing angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 as a host cell's receptor protein. The COVID‐19 pandemic had a profound impact on global public health and economies.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 446-460, March 2024.Our study highlights the relevance of evolution from common ancestors and shared history underpinning large seagrass phylogenetic structuring. Abstract Phylogenetic signal (PS) is the propensity of closely related species to resemble each other. PS has been tested across clades of terrestrial plants; however, insight for seagrasses is still lacking ...

Larger distribution ranges of seagrasses towards the equator
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 350-355, March 2024.Abstract Aim The description of species' ranges provides biogeographical information to explain fundamental macroecological and evolutionary processes. In this study, we investigated the Rapoport's rule for the world's seagrasses, that is, whether the range extent of seagrasses increases from the tropics to the poles. Location Global. Taxon Seagrasses.
