Copper treatment during storage reduces Phytophthora and Halophytophthora infection of Zostera marina seeds used for restoration
Restoration is increasingly considered an essential tool to halt and reverse the rapid decline of vital coastal ecosystems dominated by habitat-forming foundation species such as seagrasses. However, two recently discovered pathogens of marine plants, Phytophthora gemini and Halophytophthora sp. Zostera, can seriously hamper restoration efforts by dramatically reducing seed germination. Here, w...
متن کاملInnovative Techniques for Large - scale Collection , Processing , and Storage of Eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) Seeds
PROBLEM: The use of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seeds is increasingly being recognized as a viable option for both smalland large-scale restoration projects. Although methods for handcollecting, processing and storing eelgrass seeds have advanced to match the scale of collections, the number of seeds collected has limited the scale of restoration efforts, as well as the scale of ecologically rele...
متن کاملMeristematic oxygen variability in eelgrass (Zostera marina)
We examined the variability in oxygen content of meristematic tissues in eelgrass in order to evaluate its potential role in events of sudden mass mortality within eelgrass beds. Oxygen content within intact eelgrass plants could be described by use of microelectrode techniques at high temporal and spatial resolution in the laboratory and in the field. Under both situations, the meristematic ox...
متن کاملMethods to Promote Germination of Dormant Setaria viridis Seeds
Setaria viridis has recently emerged as a promising genetic model system to study diverse aspects of monocot biology. While the post-germination life cycle of S. viridis is approximately 8 weeks long, the prolonged dormancy of freshly harvested seeds can more than double the total time required between successive generations. Here we describe methods that promote seed germination in S. viridis....
متن کاملStructure and properties of fibres from sea-grass ( Zostera marina )
This paper presents results from a study of fibres extracted from Zostera marina eel-grass collected from the Baltic coast. This species of sea-grass is shown to contain small diameter (around 5 μm) fibres composed of ∼57% cellulose, ∼38% of non-cellulosic polysaccharides (mainly xylan) and ∼5% of residual matter so-called Klason lignin. This composition is quite different to that of commonly u...
