Daily regulation of key metabolic pathways in two seagrasses under natural ligh...
Ruocco, Miriam; Barrote, Isabel; Hofman, Jan Dirk; Pes, Katia; Costa, Monya; Procaccini, Gabriele; Silva, João; Dattolo, EmanuelaThe circadian clock is an endogenous time-keeping mechanism that enables organisms to adapt to external environmental cycles. It produces rhythms of plant metabolism and physiology, and interacts with signaling pathways controlling daily and seasonal environmental responses through gene expression regulation. Downstream metabolic outputs, such as photosynthesis and sugar metabolism, besides being affected by th...

Hofman, Jan DirkSeagrasses are among the most important and also mostly threatened ecosystems in the marine environment. Seagrass loss can occur in their competition with other macrophytes, like invasive macroalgae. These pose a serious threat and present numerous consequences to their new environment. Among those that can affect seagrasses, Caulerpa sp. are one of the most recognized genus. Different mechanisms can grant them...
