To survive in such a different ecological niche requires extensive adaptation to the pressures of a marine environment. Now, Olsen et al. present the fully sequenced genome of Zostera marina, a marine angiosperm also known as eelgrass, and the genetic losses and gains that enable it to thrive under the sea.

Title DNA van zeegras kan landbouw van pas komen Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet BNR Media type Radio Country/Territory Netherlands Date 28/01/2016 Description De komende jaren krijgt de landbouw steeds vaker te maken met brak water dat over de dijken op de akker komt. En daarom is het nuttig meer te weten over het zeegras-plantje, dat de sprong van zoet naar zout al gemaakt heeft.

Seagrasses are the only flowering plants to have returned to the sea, arguably the most extreme adaptation a terrestrial (or even freshwater) species can undergo. They provide a unique opportunity to study the adaptations involved. The Zostera marina genome is an exceptional resource that supports a wide range of research themes, from the adaptation of marine ecosystems under climate warming and its role in carbon burial to unravelling the mechanisms of salinity tolerance that may further inform the assisted breeding of crop plants.
