Posted onFebruary 26, 2019Authoradmin

We have published the genome of Ulva mutabilis, the first green seaweed and an important crop species. Gene family expansions associated with multicellularity are distinct from those of freshwater algae.

And it's done - another successful seaweed harvest by the Belgian Pilot of the @H2020United project. I'm so grateful for this incredible team spending their Sunday and long hours the following days helping out collecting and processing hundreds of samples!

#Kelp memory detected!
Clément Gauci shows that cold long-term cultivation of L. digitata gametophytes increases growth performance of sporophytes at the thermal extremes. Congrats Clément on your first paper! #OpenAccess article at @FrontMarineSci

Available online: all you want to know about apical-basal patterning in brown algae, how propagules develop their attachment structures and how they highlight three different symmetry breaking mechanisms, complementary to the intrinsic vs extrinsic divide. https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1embt3si8Pr8Ll

Soria Delva @ugent received in 2020 a BMRI grant from @VLIZnews to explore the contribution of epigenetics to thermal adaptation in brown seaweeds. Today Soria shares her results with us #VMSD22 #BMRI
