Cultivation protocols the rhodophytes, Devaleraea mollis and Palmaria hecatensis from Alaska

Muriel C. Dittrich, Lindsay A. Meyer, Michael S. Stekoll, Amanda L. Kelley, Schery Umanzor

This study develops cultivation protocols for two Alaskan seaweed species, showing they respond differently to temperature, photoperiod, and irradiance, and evaluates alternative nutrient media.

Genomic selection in organisms with biphasic lifecycles: a Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp) case study

Mao Fang Huang, Kelly R. Robbins, Yaoguang Li, Schery Umanzor, Michael Marty-Rivera, David L. Bailey, Margaret Aydlett, Jeremy Schmutz, Jane Grimwood, Charles Yarish, Scott R. Lindell, Jean‐Luc Jannink

The paper applies genomic selection to sugar kelp with a biphasic life cycle, predicting breeding values for gametophytes and achieving moderate prediction accuracy for yield and morphology traits.
