Use it or lose it: How seagrasses conquered the sea

    Pers / media: OnderzoekAcademic

    Description

    An international group of 38 researchers coordinated by Professor Dr. Yves Van de Peer, Ghent University, Belgium, Professor Dr. Jeanine Olsen, University of Groningen, Netherlands, Professor Dr. Thorsten Reusch, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany, Dr. Gabriele Procaccini, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Napoli, Italy, and the Joint Genome Institute, Berkeley, California, United States of America, sequenced and analyzed the genomes of three of the most important seagrass species -- the iconic Mediterranean endemic Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica), the broadly distributed Little Neptune grass (Cymodocea nodosa) and the Caribbean endemic Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum). The researchers first examined genome structure and then compared gene families and pathways associated with structural and physiological adaptations, between the seagrasses and their related freshwater relatives.

    Their findings are presented today in a peer-reviewed publication in the scientific journal Nature Plants, entitled "Seagrass genomes reveal ancient polyploidy and adaptations to the marine environment."

      BeschrijvingLes herbiers marins constituent la base de l’un des écosystèmes marins côtiers les plus riches en biodiversité, mais néanmoins vulnérables, au monde. Ils sont apparus en trois lignées indépendantes de leurs ancêtres d’eau douce il y a environ 100 millions d’années et sont les seules plantes à fleurs marines entièrement submergées. Passer à un environnement aussi radicalement différent est un événement évolutif rare et certainement pas facile. Comment ont-ils fait ? Les nouveaux génomes de qualité de référence fournissent des indices importants pertinents pour leur conservation et leur application biotechnologique.

      BeschrijvingSeegräser bilden die Grundlage für eines der artenreichsten und zugleich empfindlichsten marinen Küstenökosysteme der Welt. Sie entwickelten sich vor etwa 100 Millionen Jahren in drei unabhängigen Linien aus ihren im Süßwasser vorkommenden Vorfahren und sind die einzigen vollständig unter Wasser lebenden marinen Blütenpflanzen. Der Wechsel in eine so radikal andere Umgebung ist ein seltenes evolutionäres Ereignis – und er dürfte nicht einfach gewesen sein. Wie gelang den Seegräsern dieser Schritt? Neue hochqualitative Genome für drei Arten liefern Hinweise, die für den Erhalt von Seegras-Ökosystemen und deren nachhaltige Nutzung von Bedeutung sind.
