TL;DR: The breeding of Dongfang no. 6 demonstrated that crossing gametophyte clones in combination with selecting desirable hybrids are highly effective for breeding kelp hybrids with high-culture performance and suitability for processing.

TL;DR: Dongfang no.7 (Saccharina japonica) was bred and maintained by hybridizing gametophytes, self-crossing the best individuals, selecting the best self-Crossing line and seedling-raising from yearly reconstructed sporophytes to provide a model that other varieties of kelp and brown algae may follow during their domestication.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis data from this study were helpful in understanding the genetic relationships among the selected 17 kelp varieties and provided guidance for molecular-assisted selection for parental gametophytes of hybrid kelp breeding.

TL;DR: Temperature and exposure time of spores and young gametophytes at the first culturing temperature significantly affected the development of gametphytes as were indicated by all biological parameters except the ratio of female to male gameophytes.

TL;DR: In this article, a quick germination method of grass wrack seeds was proposed, which consisted of washing the seeds clean and placing them into 0.5 percent low-salinity artificial seawater with the soaked seeds into an incubator in the presence of constant temperature and illumination for culturing for three weeks to ensure that the seeds germinate.
