Comparison of the performance of sporophytes derived from narrow and wide genetic crosses between strains of the cultivated kelp Saccharina latissima

This study compares local and wide genetic crosses in kelp to assess breeding effectiveness without introducing foreign genetic material.

Evolutionary genomics of the emergence of brown algae as key components of coastal ecosystems

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

THE RHODOEXPLORER PLATFORM FOR RED ALGAL GENOMICS AND WHOLE GENOME ASSEMBLIES FOR SEVERAL GRACILARIA SPECIES

The baseless mutant links protein phosphatase 2A with basal cell identity in the brown alga Ectocarpus

This study identifies the BASELESS gene as encoding a PP2A regulatory subunit essential for initial cell division and basal cell fate establishment in Ectocarpus.

Histone modifications during the life cycle of the brown alga Ectocarpus

The paper identifies 47 histone PTMs in the brown alga Ectocarpus, including a novel mark, and shows their stable patterns through the life cycle and association with gene expression.

Convergent recruitment of life cycle regulators to direct sporophyte development in two eukaryotic supergroups

This study shows that TALE HD TFs regulate sporophyte development in two eukaryotic supergroups, indicating an ancient origin of this regulatory system.
