Phenolic compounds from marine organisms are far less studied than those from terrestrial
sources since their structural diversity and variability require powerful analytical tools …

Coastal countries have traditionally relied on the existing marine resources (eg, fishing,
food, transport, recreation, and tourism) as well as tried to support new economic endeavors …

Blue carbon is the organic carbon in oceanic and coastal ecosystems that is captured on
centennial to millennial timescales. Maintaining and increasing blue carbon is an integral …

Biostimulants are organic compounds from plant sources such as botanical extracts and
bioactive substances that promote plant growth, enhance photosynthesis and increase crop …

Biodiversity is undergoing rapid and worrying changes, partially driven by anthropogenic
activities. Human impacts and climate change (eg, increasing temperature and ocean …

This review shows that the presence of seagrass microbial community is critical for the
development of seagrasses; from seed germination, through to phytohormone production …

Seagrass beds act as blue carbon sinks globally as they enhance the trapping of recalcitrant
(ie, low biodegradability) organic carbon in their sediments. Recent studies also show that …

Plants rely on both mechanical and chemical defence mechanisms to protect their surfaces
against microorganisms. The recently completed genome of the eelgrass Zostera marina, a …

Microbes and seagrass establish symbiotic relationships constituting a functional unit called
the holobiont that reacts as a whole to environmental changes. Recent studies have shown …

Plants are intimately connected with their associated microorganisms. Chemical interactions
via natural products between plants and their microbial symbionts form an important aspect …
