  • Genomic resequencing provides new insights into ecological diversification of four Saccharina Japonica varieties
    Jie Zhang, Norishige Yotsukura, Sang-Yun Han, Alexander Jueterbock, Xiuliang Wang, Dmitry A. Galanin, Anna V. Klimova, Hwan Su Yoon, Delin Duan
    BMC Genomics, 2026
    Saccharina japonica is a commercially and ecologically important seaweed and shows rapid ecological speciation. This kelp represents an excellent model for understanding the process and genetic mechanism of diversification and speciation of brown seaweeds. Up to now, there was limited research about the ecological speciation of seaweeds from genomic perspective. In this study, we conducted genome resequencing of four varieties of S. japonica and two sister species (S. angustata and S. longissima) to investigate the genetic mechanism of ecological speciation. The demographic history suggests that the lineage of S. angustata and S. longissima is a sister lineage to that of S. japonica, rather than its direct ancestor, with the genetic lineage of S. japonica var. religiosa diverging earliest from the rest of the taxa. Even though there is lower genetic differentiation among these varieties, natural hybridization and gene flow are limited. We detected some heat resistance (e.g. heat shock protein 70), stress response (e.g. ubiquitin-like protein) and growth-related genes (e.g. immediate upright (imm) upregulated 3) were under positive selection during the ecological speciation. Low linkage disequilibrium decay rate and extensive signals of selective sweeps were detected in these varieties, suggesting that adaptive differentiation under natural selection was the driving force for ecological speciation. The main force driving speciation in this species does not appear to be ongoing hybridization but historical admixture and adaptive differentiation due to natural selection. An understanding of the evolutionary history and ecological speciation of S. japonica represents an important prerequisite for effective use of germplasm in breeding and for the conservation of natural resources.

    Npj Ocean Sustainability, 2025
    How to build a sustainable seaweed industry is important in Europe’s quest to produce 8 million tons of seaweed by 2030. Based on interviews with industry representatives and an expert-workshop, we developed an interdisciplinary roadmap that addresses sustainable development holistically. We argue that sustainable practices must leverage synergies with existing industries (e.g. IMTA systems, offshore wind farms), as the industry develops beyond experimental cultivation towards economic viability.
  • Turning the Tide: A 2°C Increase in Heat Tolerance Can Halve Climate Change-Induced Losses in Four Cold-Adapted Kelp Species
    Griffin Hill, Clément Gauci, Jorge Assis, Alexander Jueterbock
    Ecology and Evolution, 2025
    Kelp forests are susceptible to climate change, as their sessile nature and low dispersal capacity hinder tracking of suitable conditions. The emergence of a wide array of approaches to increasing thermal tolerance seeks to change the outlook of biodiversity in a changing climate but lacks clear targets of impactful thermal resilience. Here, we utilize species distribution models (SDMs) to evaluate the potential of enhanced thermal tolerance to buffer the effects of climate change on cold‐adapted kelp species: Saccharina latissima, Alaria esculenta, Laminaria hyperborea, and Laminaria digitata. For each species, we compared a baseline model—where the thermal niche remained unchanged—to models where the simulated maximum sea surface temperature tolerance was increased by 1°C–5°C. These models were projected into three climate change scenarios: sustainability (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 1‐1.9, Paris Agreement), regional rivalry (SSP3‐7.0), and fossil‐fuel development (SSP 5‐8.5). Our SDMs demonstrate that an increase of 1°C–2°C in thermal tolerance could recover over 50% of predicted losses of suitable habitat for cold‐adapted kelps. However, A. esculenta, a species of growing commercial interest, still faced persistent habitat contraction across all climate change scenarios and simulated tolerance increases, including up to 15% unrecovered losses under SSP5‐8.5, even with a simulated 5°C increase in thermal tolerance. Our findings highlight the need for a two‐pronged approach to conserve cold‐adapted kelp forests: stringent reductions in greenhouse gas emission reductions in line with the SSP1‐1.9 scenario, and strategies to boost kelp's thermal tolerance by at least 1°C–2°C. This dual approach is crucial to maintain 90% of the current suitable habitat of S. latissima and L. digitata, and 70% for A. esculenta and L. hyperborea. Relying on mitigation or adaptation alone will likely be insufficient to maintain their historic range under projected climate change.
  • The methylome of clonal seagrass shoots shows age-associated variation and differentiation of roots from other tissues
    Anne M.L. Nilsen, Galice Hoarau, Irina Smolina, James A. Coyer, Christoffer Boström, Martina E.L. Kopp, Alexander Jueterbock
    Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta General Subjects, 2025
    Factors influencing variance of DNA methylation in vegetatively reproducing plants, both terrestrial plants and aquatic seagrasses, is just beginning to be understood. Improving our knowledge of these mechanisms will increase understanding of transgenerational epigenetics in plant clones, of the relationship between DNA methylation and seagrass development, and of the drivers of epigenetic variation, which may underly acclimation in clonally reproducing plants. Here, we sampled leaves, rhizomes and roots of three physically and spatially separated ramet sections from a clonally propagated field of the seagrass Zostera marina. Using reduced methylome sequencing, we studied variations in the methylome of seagrass Zostera marina between the sampled tissue types and across age groups. Our analysis of ramets of different ages showed variations in methylation between older and younger samples in both specific methylation patterns and global methylation levels. Our analysis of tissue types showed a marked differentiation of the roots from the rhizomes and leaves, which showed more similar methylation patterns. These findings are in agreement with the strong connection of DNA methylation and plant development and tissue differentiation. We also suggest an effect of differential environmental exposures on the methylome of the younger versus the older ramets due to the forming of molecular stress memories.

    Brown seaweeds are keystone species of coastal ecosystems, often forming extensive underwater forests, and are under considerable threat from climate change. In this study, analysis of multiple genomes has provided insights across the entire evolutionary history of this lineage, from initial emergence, through later diversification of the brown algal orders, down to microevolutionary events at the genus level. Emergence of the brown algal lineage was associated with a marked gain of new orthologous gene families, enhanced protein domain rearrangement, increased horizontal gene transfer events, and the acquisition of novel signaling molecules and key metabolic pathways, the latter notably related to biosynthesis of the alginate-based extracellular matrix, and halogen and phlorotannin biosynthesis. We show that brown algal genome diversification is tightly linked to phenotypic divergence, including changes in life cycle strategy and zoid flagellar structure. The study also showed that integration of large viral genomes has had a significant impact on brown algal genome content throughout the emergence of the lineage.
  • Chloroplast DNA methylation in the kelp Saccharina latissima is determined by origin and possibly influenced by cultivation
    Lydia Scheschonk, Anne M. L. Nilsen, Kai Bischof, Alexander Jueterbock
    Evolutionary Applications, 2024
    DNA cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism in genomic DNA. In most land plants, it is absent in the chloroplast DNA. We detected methylation in the chloroplast DNA of the kelp Saccharina latissima, a non‐model macroalgal species of high ecological and economic importance. Since the functional role of the chloroplast methylome is yet largely unknown, this fundamental research assessed the chloroplast DNA cytosine methylation in wild and laboratory raised kelp from different climatic origins (High‐Arctic at 79° N, and temperate at 54° N), and in laboratory samples from these origins raised at different temperatures (5, 10 and 15°C). Results suggest genome‐wide differences in methylated sites and methylation level between the origins, while rearing temperature had only weak effects on the chloroplast methylome. Our findings point at the importance of matching conditions to origin in restoration and cultivation processes to be valid even on plastid level.
  • The evolutionary consequences of interactions between the epigenome, the genome and the environment

    Evolutionary Applications, 2024
    The epigenome is the suite of interacting chemical marks and molecules that helps to shape patterns of development, phenotypic plasticity and gene regulation, in part due to its responsiveness to environmental stimuli. There is increasing interest in understanding the functional and evolutionary importance of this sensitivity under ecologically realistic conditions. Observations that epigenetic variation abounds in natural populations have prompted speculation that it may facilitate evolutionary responses to rapid environmental perturbations, such as those occurring under climate change. A frequent point of contention is whether epigenetic variants reflect genetic variation or are independent of it. The genome and epigenome often appear tightly linked and interdependent. While many epigenetic changes are genetically determined, the converse is also true, with DNA sequence changes influenced by the presence of epigenetic marks. Understanding how the epigenome, genome and environment interact with one another is therefore an essential step in explaining the broader evolutionary consequences of epigenomic variation. Drawing on results from experimental and comparative studies carried out in diverse plant and animal species, we synthesize our current understanding of how these factors interact to shape phenotypic variation in natural populations, with a focus on identifying similarities and differences between taxonomic groups. We describe the main components of the epigenome and how they vary within and between taxa. We review how variation in the epigenome interacts with genetic features and environmental determinants, with a focus on the role of transposable elements (TEs) in integrating the epigenome, genome and environment. And we look at recent studies investigating the functional and evolutionary consequences of these interactions. Although epigenetic differentiation in nature is likely often a result of drift or selection on stochastic epimutations, there is growing evidence that a significant fraction of it can be stably inherited and could therefore contribute to evolution independently of genetic change.

    Reviews in Aquaculture, 2024
    Breeding has played an important role in the mariculture and industrialization of kelp in China. However, the current kelp breeding systems in China have encountered some problems relating to germplasm diversity, management, technological innovations, and regional co‐operation. This review summarizes the main challenges, such as top‐down and fragmented management of germplasm libraries, as well as private industry breeding without government regulations, inter‐cultivar accidental admixing and genetic erosion, loss of heterozygosity due to repeated selection and self‐crossing. We outline multiple potential approaches to breed cultivars with improved qualitative/quantitative traits which can be subjected to changing environments, for example: (i) establishing a national germplasm repository to enhance integrative collection and preservation of kelp resources; (ii) planning and implementing kelp breeding programmes according to strategic priorities and goal‐orientations; (iii) optimizing a hybridization‐based breeding pipeline to produce robust cultivars through the introgression of novel alleles and thus the expression of hybrid vigour; (iv) enriching the high‐quality annotated reference genomes and functional analysis of trait‐associated markers/loci to develop DNA‐based breeding technologies; (v) developing new priming‐based (e.g., thermal and disease resistance) bio‐engineering breeding strategies to meet future unpredictable climate change; and (vi) breeding towards an ecological kelp‐microbiome interaction‐based technique to produce cultivars with enhanced performance and adaptability to environmental scenarios. Collectively, the lessons learned from kelp breeding in China and the solutions proposed here may not only potentially improve or re‐invigorate the Chinese kelp industry, but will also assist other developing countries in taking corrective actions to develop a sustainable future kelp farming industry.
  • Thermal priming of Saccharina latissima: a promising strategy to improve seaweed production and restoration in future climates
    C Gauci, A Jueterbock, A Khatei, G Hoarau, I Bartsch
    Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2024
    Saccharina latissima is a brown algal kelp species of ecological and economic importance. As the rise in sea surface temperature will threaten not only wild populations of S. latissima but also the productivity of kelp farms, crop enhancement techniques will become crucial to mitigate this threat. Priming is a common strategy in crop plants, in which seeds are pre-exposed to moderate stress to improve the performance and tolerance of plants when exposed to harsher conditions. We investigated the potential of thermal priming to improve growth and tolerance of S. latissima. Kelp gametophytes primed at 20°C for 2, 4 and 6 wk and then re-transferred to 5°C were compared to a naïve treatment maintained at 5°C. Gametophyte priming increased growth of subsequently formed sporophytes by up to 30% (for 4 wk priming) compared to the naïve treatment. Female gametophyte growth in the priming environment was positively correlated to offspring sporophyte growth, indicating a maternal effect. Sporophytes were exposed to heat stress of 20°, 22°, 23° and 24°C for 2 wk. Sporophytes from 4 and 6 wk primed gametophytes exhibited 11 d longer tolerance at 22°C, 7 d longer tolerance at 23°C and 1°C higher thermal tolerance over 7 d compared to naïve sporophytes and sporophytes from 2 wk priming. A priming time of 4 wk was optimal for both sporophyte growth and thermal tolerance. Our results suggest that priming is a promising crop enhancement technique that could improve yield for seaweed farmers and restoration of kelp forests threatened by warming climates.
