Abstract Seaweeds are essential for marine ecosystems and have immense economic value. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the draft genome Saccharina japonica , one most economically important seaweeds. The 537-Mb assembled genomic sequence covered 98.5% estimated genome, 18,733 protein-coding genes predicted annotated. Gene families related to cell wall synthesis, halogen concentration, development defence systems were expanded. Functional diversification mannuronan C-5-epimerase...

SUMMARY In early July 2008, news agencies worldwide reported on a vast algal bloom that was threatening the upcoming Olympic sailing events in Qingdao, China. The identity of culpable alga, however, remained undiscussed. We have identified alga caused by means morphological and molecular data, including sequence data plastid encoded large subunit ribulose 1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase gene ( rbc L) nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. bloom‐forming falls within limits green...

Salinity is a major and complex abiotic stress that inhibits plant growth reduces crop yield. Given the global increase in soil salinity, there need to develop salt-tolerant species. Brassica napus L. an important oilseed with some level of salt tolerance. However, few studies have evaluated its tolerance thoroughly or screened for traits can be reliably Here, we 549 B. inbred lines different genetic backgrounds using membership function value certain traits, including germination rate, root...

Sources and molecular composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in coastal rivers have been tightly linked with its reactivity fate, thus influencing element nutrient cycling. The DOM is usually sourced from both terrestrial marine inputs, further complication by anthropogenic activities, which less understood located near populated industrial regions. In this study, a typical anthropogenically influenced river, Daliao River, was analyzed for optical analyses via Fourier transform ion...

Neurodegenerative diseases pose a growing global health challenge, with limited effective therapeutic options. Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy are common underlying mechanisms in these diseases. Thymol is phenolic monoterpene compound that has gained attention for its diverse biological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory activities. supplementation could provide potential neuroprotection improve...

Ulva prolifera green tides in the Yellow Sea of China past 3 yr are among largest macroalgal blooms ever recorded. Satellite images, as well wind and current patterns, provide a clear picture formation these tides; however, their place origin remains unclear. Terrestrial investigation along coastline Jiangsu Province two shipboard surveys 2009 showed that filamentous Ulvaceae algae were prevalent various environments including floating rafts for Porphyra cultivation, land‐based bivalve...

Ulva prolifera, a typical green-tide-forming alga, can accumulate large biomass in relatively short time period, suggesting that photosynthesis this organism, particularly its carbon fixation pathway, must be very efficient. Green algae are known to generally perform C3 photosynthesis, but recent metabolic labeling and genome sequencing data suggest they may also C4 so might more wide-spread than previously anticipated. Both genes were found U. prolifera by transcriptome sequencing. We...

Background miRNAs are a class of non-coding, small RNAs that approximately 22 nucleotides long and play important roles in the translational level regulation gene expression by either directly binding or cleaving target mRNAs. The red alga, Porphyra yezoensis is one most marine economic crops worldwide. To date, only few have been identified green unicellar alga there no report about miRNAs. Methodology/Principal Findings identify yezoensis, RNA library was constructed. Solexa technology...

Haematococcus pluvialis is an organism that under certain conditions can produce astaxanthin, economically important carotenoid. In this study, the transcriptional expression patterns of eight carotenogenic genes H. in response to jasmonic acid (JA) were evaluated using real-time PCR. Astaxanthin accumulation action and photosynthesis flourescence monitored at same time. The results showed all exhibited higher significantly JA treatments. JA25 (25 mg/L) induction had greater effect (>10-fold...

Concerns over the potential risks of nanomaterials to ecosystem have been raised, as it is highly possible that could be released environment and result in adverse effects on living organisms. Carbon dioxide (CO2) one main greenhouse gases. The level CO2 keeps increasing subsequently causes a series environmental problems, especially for agricultural crops. In present study, we investigated TiO2 NPs wheat seedlings cultivated under super-elevated conditions (5000 mg/L CO2) normal (400 CO2)....

Haematococcus pluvialis is an astaxanthin-rich microalga that can increase its astaxanthin production by salicylic acid (SA) or jasmonic (JA) induction. The genetic transcriptome details of biosynthesis were analyzed exposing the algal cells to 25 mg/L SA and JA for 1, 6 24 hours, plus control (no stress). Based on RNA-seq analysis, 56,077 unigenes (51.7%) identified with functions in response hormone stress. top five subcategories cell, cellular process, intracellular, catalytic activity...

Brown algae have convergently evolved plant-like body plans and reproductive cycles, which in plants are controlled by differential DNA methylation. This contribution provides the first single-base methylome profiles of haploid gametophytes diploid sporophytes a multicellular alga. Although only c. 1.4% cytosines Saccharina japonica were methylated mainly at CHH sites characterized 5-methylcytosine (5mC), there significant differences between life-cycle stages. methyltransferase 2 (DNMT2),...
