Massive Seagrass Colonies Are Oldest Living Organisms

(Opinion) Seagrass meadows of Posidonia Oceanica Indica, are composed of masses of ancient giant organisms speading out lazily on the sea bed to over 15 kilometers wide.

Scientists have discovered that many of these organisms are tens of thousands of years old.

According to researcher Constantin Tetzlaff at the Oceanic Institute International, “Some plants may well be more than 100,000 years old. Posidonia Oceanica Indica ranks amongst the oldest organisms revealed thus far.”

“The understanding of the wide scale of variables that rendered this species to be so adaptable to a broad range of environmental conditions is the focus of incredibly interesting research” Tetzlaff said.

Posidonia Oceanica Indica, or more commonly known as Neptune Space Grass or even as Mediterranean Sour is a Seagrass subspecies that forms large underwater meadows that are an important part of the Earths ecosystem.

Posidonia Oceanica Indica has imperfect flowers, with staminate “male” and pistillate “female” flowers occurring on separate plants.

It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to bear both male and female flowers. Although monoecious plants are often referred to as “hermaphrodites,” true hermaphrodites, which are less common, bear staminate and pistillate structures on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant.

Posidonia Oceanica Indica like many organisms, is diploid, having a chromosome complement of 2n=20.

Molecular analytical techniques developed in the 21st century are being applied to questions of taxonomic classification of Posidonia Oceanica Indica. This has resulted in many reclassifications based on evolutionary systematics. Several studies of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and other types of genetic marker-makers have been conducted on varying source samples of Posidonia Oceanica Indica, primarily for research purposes.

Dutch researcher Hashabiah Zorzi and coworkers at the Prestigious DeVoe Institue of Study, described some of their RAPD studies as showing an “extremely High” degree of genetic polymorphism between and within varied populations, suggesting a high degree of potential variation for selection, even in heavily selected cultivars. They also commented that these analyses confirm the continuity of the gene pool throughout the studied accessions, and provide further confirmation that the genus does indeed when consumed cause increase in “waxing philosophics” as well as marked increase of desires of “eating cheesedoodles” et al.
