Recent advances in the understanding of the biological basis for Gigartina skottsbergii (Rhodophyta) cultivation in Chile
TL;DR: The results indicate that viable spores of G. skottsbergii can be obtained, mainly during winter, with germination rates of both tetraspores and carpospores, up to 40%, and suggests that regeneration from fragments is an alternative method for propagation and massive cultivation of the species in Chile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthesis and nitrogen uptake of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (Ochrophyta) grown close to salmon farms.

TL;DR: The optimal culture depth of M. pyrifera near salmon farms appears to be a physiological integration between nitrogen supply and demand, which is modulated by plant acclimation to the seasonal change in light and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Healing and regeneration responses in Gigartina skottsbergii (Rhodophyta, Gigartinales): optimization of vegetative propagation for cultivation
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that excised tissues of G. skottsbergii were able to seal the exposed areas in approximately 20 days, by a wound healing process characterized by a re-differentiation of medullary cells into a normal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farming the Ocean – Seaweeds as a Quick Fix for the Climate?
TL;DR: The major shortcomings of this argument relate to the idea that a carbon sink function should exist through carbon accumulation in seaweed biomass simultaneously as seaweeds are consumed as food by humans, fed to animals, or used in many alternative applications as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious diseases of mazzaella laminarioides (rhodophyta): changes in infection prevalence and disease expression associated with season, locality, and within-site location1
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Endophyton ramosum is the most frequent infective pathogen affecting M. laminarioides in Matanzas and Pucatrihue and effects of seasonality and locality on infection prevalence may be influenced, at least in part, by the position of the hosts an the intertidal zone.
