TLDR
This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979, and covers recent insights into phylogeny and taxonomy, and discusses morphotypes, ecotypes, population genetics and demography.Abstract:
This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979. The recent proposal to divide the genus into the two genera Laminaria and Saccharina is acknowledged, but the published data are discussed under a 'sensu lato' concept, introduced here. This includes all species which have been considered to be 'Laminaria' before the division of the genus. In detail, after an introduction the review covers recent insights into phylogeny and taxonomy, and discusses morphotypes, ecotypes, population genetics and demography. It describes growth and photosynthetic performance of sporophytes with special paragraphs on the regulation of sporogenesis, regulation by endogenous rhythms, nutrient metabolism, storage products, and salinity tolerance. The biology of microstages is discussed separately. The ecology of these kelps is described with a focus on stress defence against abiotic and biotic factors and the role of Laminaria as habitat, its trophic interactions and its competition is discussed. Finally, recent developments in aquaculture are summarized. In conclusion to each section, as a perspective and guide to future research, we draw attention to the remaining gaps in the knowledge about the genus and kelps in general.read more

Genetic diversity and structure within and between wild and cultivated Saccharina japonica (Laminariales, Phaeophyta) revealed by SSR markers
TL;DR: Intensive artificial selection, cultivation method and dispersal model together affected the population genetic structure, and the artificial selection was the main factor caused the significant genetic differentiation between wild and cultivated S. japonica.

Using genetic tools for sustainable management of kelps: a literature review and the example of Laminaria digitata
Myriam Valero,Christophe Destombe,Stéphane Mauger,Cecile Ribout,Carolyn R. Engel,Claire Daguin-Thiébaut,Florence Tellier +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature to characterize the patterns of connectivity and scales of population structure in kelp forests and found that population connectivity depends mainly on species' dispersal abilities and habitat characteristics (intertidal vs. subtidal), but little on their life-span characteristics.

Seasonal and spatial variation in biochemical composition of Saccharina latissima during a potential harvesting season for Western Sweden
Jenny Veide Vilg,Göran M. Nylund,Tony Werner,Linnea Qvirist,Joshua Mayers,Henrik Pavia,Ingrid Undeland,Eva Albers +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, there was little spatial variation in the macromolecular composition, although the concentration of some specific monosaccharides and fatty acids, as well as the total phenolic content, differed among localities.

Herbivory drives kelp recruits into 'hiding' in a warm ocean climate
João N. Franco,Thomas Wernberg,Iacopo Bertocci,Pedro Duarte,David Jacinto,Nuno Vasco-Rodrigues,Fernando Tuya +6 more
TL;DR: This study suggests both temperature and herbivores affect abundances of kelp recruits across latitudes, and demonstrates how herbivore affect their distribution at local scales, driving kelps into ‘hiding’ in crevices under intense herbivory.

Developing spatial models of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) potential distribution under natural conditions and areas of its disappearance in Skagerrak
Trine Bekkby,Frithjof E. Moy +1 more
TL;DR: Using the Akaike Information Criterion for model selection, it was found that wave exposure, depth, light exposure and slope best explained the potential distribution of sugar kelp.

Orchestrated Transcription of Key Pathways in Arabidopsis by the Circadian Clock
Stacey L. Harmer,John B. Hogenesch,Marty Straume,Hur-Song Chang,Bin Han,Tong Zhu,Xun Wang,Joel A. Kreps,Steve A. Kay,Steve A. Kay +9 more
TL;DR: This study presents a comprehensive view of the temporal compartmentalization of physiological pathways by the circadian clock in a eukaryote.

Organic osmolytes as compatible, metabolic and counteracting cytoprotectants in high osmolarity and other stresses
TL;DR: Organic osmolytes are small solutes used by cells of numerous water-stressed organisms and tissues to maintain cell volume and have applications in biotechnology, agriculture and medicine, including in vitro rescue of the misfolded protein of cystic fibrosis.

Algae: An Introduction to Phycology
David G. Mann,H.M Jahns +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main groups of algae (divisions or phyla) are considered in turn, and the final chapter is a synthesis, in which the phylogeny of the algae is discussed in relation to the evolution of other living organisms.

CONSTANS mediates between the circadian clock and the control of flowering in Arabidopsis
Paula Suárez-López,Kay Wheatley,Frances Robson,Frances Robson,Hitoshi Onouchi,Hitoshi Onouchi,Federico Valverde,George Coupland,George Coupland +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CONSTANS (CO), a gene that accelerates flowering in response to long days, is modulated by the circadian clock and day length, suggesting mechanisms by which day length regulates flowering time.

Direct and Indirect Effects
TL;DR: A new way of defining the effect transmitted through a restricted set of paths, without controlling variables on the remaining paths is presented, which permits the assessment of a more natural type of direct and indirect effects.
