Heat stress analysis suggests a genetic basis for tolerance in Macrocystis pyrifera across developmental stages.

Abstract excerpt

Kelps are vital for marine ecosystems, yet the genetic diversity underlying their capacity to adapt to climate change remains unknown. In this study, we focused on the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera a species critical to coastal habitats. We developed a protocol to evaluate heat stress response in 204 Macrocystis pyrifera genotypes subjected to heat stress treatments ranging from 21 °C to 27 °C. Here we show that...
