Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of the relative contribution of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms to organismal response to stress is largely biased towards specific taxonomic groups (e.g. seed plants) and environmental stresses (e.g. drought and salinity). In previous work, we found intraspecific differences in heavy metal (HM) uptake capacity in the brown macroalgae Fucus vesiculosus. The molecular mechanisms underlying...
