The marine seagrasses form an ecological and therefore paraphyletic group of marine
hydrophilus angiosperms which evolved three to four times from land plants towards an …

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 …

Applying proteomics, we tested the physiological responses of the euryhaline seagrass
Cymodocea nodosa to deliberate manipulation of salinity in a mesocosm system. Plants …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a class of integral membrane proteins involved in the transport of
water and many other small solutes. The AQPs have been extensively studied in many land …

The stability on the expression level of putative reference genes (RGs) for reverse
transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was tested in the seagrass Posidonia oceanica …

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a marine angiosperm distributed in shallow seas that has a
unique mechanism for regulating water content. Water transfer across the plasma …

Posidonia oceanica meadows are sensitive to disturbance often associated with highly
human-impacted coasts. A recent anthropogenic impact is due to hypersaline water …

Aquatic higher plants have morphologically and physiologically adapted to their water
environment. Similar to terrestrial plants that have been exposed to waterlogging and …

In past decades, meadows of Posidonia oceanica (L) Delile have declined extensively in the
Mediterranean basin mainly due to disturbances associated with reduced light availability …

Posidonia oceanica is an endemic Mediterranean seagrass, which represents the most
productive coastal ecosystem. P. oceanica meadows are extremely sensitive to the …
