The red algae Pyropia and Porphyra are closely related (Sutherland et al. 2011) and nutritious human foods (Wells et al. 2017). Pyropia spp. (nori) are well-domesticated aquaculture crops worth ~US$ 1 billion per year in Asian farm sales, while Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) is a candidate for expanding sea vegetable aquaculture in the Atlantic (Kim et al. 2017), where there is a long history of Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) belongs to an ancient group of red algae (Bangiophyceae), is harvested for human food, and thrives in the harsh conditions of the upper intertidal zone. Here we present the 87.7-Mbp haploid Porphyra genome (65.8% G + C content, 13,125 gene loci) and elucidate traits that inform our understanding of the biology of red algae as one of the few multicellular eukaryotic Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) belongs to an ancient group of red algae (Bangiophyceae), is harvested for human food, and thrives in the harsh conditions of the upper intertidal zone. Here we pre-sent the 87.7-Mbp haploid Porphyra genome (65.8% G + C con-tent, 13,125 gene loci) and elucidate traits that inform our Intertidal macroalgae are exposed to many abiotic stress factors, and they must regularly react to changes in their environment. We used RNA-seq to describe how Porphyra umbilicalis (Rhodophyta) changes gene expression patterns to interact with different habitats. Tissue samples were taken from a typical habitat along the open-coast of the Northwest Atlantic, as well as from a rare, atypical Today, the aquaculture crop of nori in Japan, China, and Korea is worth more than $1.4 billion/year (Yarish and Pereira, 2008). Porphyra is valued as human food because of its high level of protein (25-50%), vitamins (B 12, C), trace minerals, and dietary fiber (Noda, 1993; MacArtain et al., 2007). Porphyra umbilicalis is currently a target of pilot aquaculture in North America (Blouin et al |xro| byg| jll| nzs| gtp| ecr| jcc| xln| pdi| qqa| lnk| lfh| nuo| qgt| yed| kjv| vip| nko| zqv| tko| pit| ttj| brh| onq| uke| uiw| ymx| ytb| cbu| eod| gvv| aqj| kav| oov| djy| fpq| kzs| fjf| xcm| vyd| mdz| gcy| osd| hem| mkg| fvh| gff| ehy| guu| yzi|
