Macrocystis pyrifera seaweed extracts combined with Pseudomonas koreensis enhance growth and stomatal regulation in the sweet cherry rootstock ‘Colt’ under contrasting water conditions [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
The Colt rootstock (Prunus avium × Prunus pseudocerasus) is widely used in Chilean cherry orchards due to its high compatibility and vigor; however, its low drought tolerance limits its performance in water-scarce environments.

Functional Reproductive and Developmental Traits Differences Between Two Macrocystis Ecomorphs: Importance of Neutral Lipids [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The kelp genus Macrocystis presents populations recognizable by distinct morphological traits, which has raised discussions on its taxonomical status.

Multiple and interrelated factors influence diversity of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) associated bacterial communities along the Strait of Magellan [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera forms abundant underwater forests that hosts diverse and dynamic bacterial communities. In the sub-Antarctic Strait of Magellan, while spatial variability is known to influence these associations, the combined effects ...

In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Edible Seaweed Proteins from the Chilean Coast and Proteins from the Novel Seaweed-Derived Mycoprotein [PDF]

Molecules
Seaweed biomass is globally underutilized as a source of proteins despite its nutritional potential, with much of its use focused on hydrocolloid extraction.

Experimental assessment of environmental versus genetic influences on Macrocystis morphology

Ecosphere
The two most common ecomorphs of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera and Macrocystis integrifolia, exhibit almost no geographic overlap across their range in the temperate waters of North and South America, with few exceptions such as Stillwater Cove, CA ...

Structure of giant kelp Photosystem I-FCP uncovers drivers of antenna evolution across the red lineage [PDF]

Nature Communications
Brown algae and other red-algae-derived organisms are major contributors to global CO2 fixation via photosynthesis. To understand the photosynthetic function of brown algae, we obtained the structure of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera photosystem I (PSI)

Kelp Patch-Specific Characteristics Limit Detection Capability of Rapid Survey Method for Determining Canopy Biomass Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Kelp forests dominate autotrophic biomass and primary productivity of approximately 30,000 to 60,000 km of shallow temperate and Arctic rocky reef coastline globally and contribute significantly to carbon cycling in the coastal ocean.

Loss of Giant Kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, Driven by Marine Heatwaves and Exacerbated by Poor Water Clarity in New Zealand

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Marine heatwaves (MHW) are becoming stronger and more frequent across the globe. MHWs affect the thermal physiology of all biological organisms, but wider ecosystem effects are particularly impactful when large habitat-forming foundation species such as ...

Effects of five southern California macroalgal diets on consumption, growth, and gonad weight, in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Consumer growth and reproductive capacity are direct functions of diet. Strongylocentrotid sea urchins, the dominant herbivores in California kelp forests, strongly prefer giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera), but are highly catholic in their ability to ...
