| Abstract: | Background The endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile colonizes soft bottoms producing highly productive meadows that play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems dynamics.
Human activities and natural events are responsible for a widespread meadows regression; to date the identification of "diagnostic"
tools to monitor conservation status is a critical issue. In this study the feasibility of a novel tool to evaluate ecological
impacts on Posidonia meadows has been tested. Quantification of a putative stress indicator, i.e. phenols content, has been coupled to 2-D electrophoretic protein analysis of rhizome samples. |
