Plants have evolved many strategies for adaptation to extreme environments. Ca2+, acting
as an important secondary messenger in plant cells, is a signaling molecule involved in …

Human-and nature-induced hypersaline conditions in coastal systems can lead to profound
alterations of the structure and vitality of seagrass meadows and their socio-ecological …

Seagrasses' ability to store information after exposure to stress (ie stress memory) and to
better respond to further stress (ie priming) have recently been observed, although the …

Increased plant mortality in temperate seagrass populations has been recently observed
after summer heatwaves, although the underlying causes of plant death are yet unknown …

Seawater desalination is an expanding procedure to supply coastal regions with freshwater.
Such developments introduce a significant amount of brine effluent into marine …

Adaptation to local conditions is known to occur in seagrasses; however, knowledge of the
genetic basis underlying this phenomenon remains scarce. Here, we analysed Posidonia …

Seagrasses, which are considered among the most ecologically valuable and endangered
coastal ecosystems, have a narrowly limited distribution in the south-east Pacific, where …

Desalination has the potential to provide an important source of potable water to growing
coastal populations but it also produces highly saline brines with chemical additives, posing …

Posidonia oceanica meadows are facing global threats mainly due to episodic heat waves.
In a mesocosm experiment, we aimed at disentangling the molecular response of P …

Plants endure environmental stressors via adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. Studying
these mechanisms in seagrasses is extremely relevant as they are important primary …
