Organellar genomes of giant kelp from the southern hemisphere

Applied Phycology, 2023
Macrocystis pyrifera is a foundation species that creates kelp forests and supports essential ecosystem services across coastal environments. Over the past half-century, more than 95% of giant kelp forests have declined around Tasmania, Australia, due to

Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Fucoidan Extracts In Vitro

Marine Drugs, 2021
Fucoidans are sulfated, complex, fucose-rich polymers found in brown seaweeds. Fucoidans have been shown to have multiple bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory effects, and are known to inhibit inflammatory processes via a number of pathways such as

Iron limitation of kelp growth may prevent ocean afforestation

Communications Biology, 2023
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and emissions reduction are essential to alleviate climate change. Ocean macroalgal afforestation (OMA) is a CDR method already undergoing field trials where nearshore kelps, on rafts, are purposefully grown offshore at scale.

Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy-forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest. [PDF]

New Phytol
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Iron Uptake and Translocation by Macrocystis pyrifera [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1981
Parameters of iron uptake have been determined for blade tissue of Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Ag. These include the effects of iron concentration, light, various inhibitors, and blade type. All experiments were conducted in the defined artificial seawater Aquil.
