Evolution of the Fucaceae (Phaeophyceae) inferred from nrDNA-ITS [PDF]
Journal of Phycology, 2014 Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were obtained from 16 species representing all six genera of Fucaceae (Ascophyllum, Fucus, Hesperophycus, Pelvetia, Pelvetiopsis, and Xiphophora) plus ...

Advancing quantification methods for polyphenols in brown seaweeds-applying a selective qNMR method compared with the TPC assay. [PDF]
Phytochem Anal, 2022 Abstract Introduction Brown seaweeds are a sustainable biomass with a potential for various industrial applications. Polyphenols are an important contributor to this potential. Objective The aim was total quantification of polyphenols in brown seaweeds from different tidal zones, using a selective 1H quantitative NMR (qNMR) method, comparing the ...

Fabulous but Forgotten Fucoid Forests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe that fucoid seaweed forests are vital ecosystems around the world, but also document that they are much less known compared to coral reefs, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, and mangroves. We hope our short easy read viewpoint will make fucoid forest more memorable, more valued, and better conserved and managed.

Effectiveness of Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus on Metabolic Syndrome Components: A Real-World, Observational Study. [PDF]
J Diabetes Res, 2021 Introduction. Gdue is a nutraceutical obtained from the association of two marine algae, Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus, in addition to chromium picolinate, which could be useful for the treatment of dysglycemia, overweight, and the other components of the metabolic syndrome.

Laminaria japonica Aresch-Derived Fucoidan Ameliorates Hyperlipidemia by Upregulating LXRs and Suppressing SREBPs. [PDF]
Cardiovasc TherCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and hyperlipidemia is one major inducing factor of CVD. It is worthy to note that fucoidans are reported to have hypolipidemic activity with species specificity; however, the underlying mechanisms of action are far from clarification.

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 1, Page 422-437, April 2023., 2023 Summary Sex‐biased gene expression is considered to be an underlying cause of sexually dimorphic traits. Although the nature and degree of sex‐biased expression have been well documented in several animal and plant systems, far less is known about the evolution of sex‐biased genes in more distant eukaryotic groups.

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Foundation species, such as trees, corals, grasses, oysters, and rockweeds, must be common and abundant to effectively modify the physical environment and increase biodiversity by buffering environmental stress. Yet many of these important species have been declining due to disease, climate change, and other factors.

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract EFSA assessed the relevance of seaweed and halophyte consumption to the dietary exposure to heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury) and the iodine intake in the European population. Based on sampling years 2011–2021, there were 2,093 analytical data available on cadmium, 1,988 on lead, 1,934 on total arsenic, 920 on inorganic arsenic
