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

This study performs a GWAS on sugar kelp to identify genetic markers associated with morphometric and metabolic traits, finding major-effect loci and polygenic traits for breeding programs.

This study characterizes the U and V sex chromosomes in red algae, revealing their evolutionary origin and structural features, and highlights their role in sex determination.

This study examines genetic diversity and structure of wild and farmed Saccharina latissima populations in Europe to assess gene flow risks and traceability.

The paper assesses the genetic structure of sugar kelp in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf, finding strong genetic structuring with genomic data but not microsatellites, and no large-scale genetic changes in wild populations due to aquaculture practices.

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