High-density genetic map and identification of QTLs for responses to temperature and salinity stresses in the model brown alga Ectocarpus.

Abstract excerpt

Deciphering the genetic architecture of adaptation of brown algae to environmental stresses such as temperature and salinity is of evolutionary as well as of practical interest. The filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus sp. is a model for the brown algae and its genome has been sequenced. As sessile organisms, brown algae need to be capable of resisting the various abiotic stressors that act in the intertidal zone...
