Studies of quantitative trait loci based on genetic linkage maps require the establishment a mapping population. Permanent populations are more ideal than temporary ones because they can be used repeatedly. However, there has been no reported permanent sporophyte population economically important kelp species. Based characteristics life cycle, we proposed method to establish, and then constructed experimentally, an "immortalized F
