  • Publication number: 20230413749
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for inducing a lateral branch development of Eucheuma denticulatum, and relates to the technical field of marine organisms. In the present invention, the E. denticulatum is subjected to aeration culture at a light-photon flux of 200 ?mol·m?2·s?1 to 300 ?mol·m?2·s?1. During induction with a high light intensity, new lateral branches continue to grow; after the high-light treatment is completed, the E. denticulatum is placed in its original breeding environment. The dedifferentiation of branch cells into meristems is induced by the high light intensity in E. denticulatum, and then the meristems are developed into lateral branches. An increase of the lateral branches can increase a yield of E. denticulatum, and the high-light treatment can significantly increase a dry matter content of the E. denticulatum to raise an income.

  • Publication number: 20210269887
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method and application for rapid and accurate chromosomal location of economic traits in laver, belonging to the fields of genomics and molecular breeding, wherein comprising the following steps: distinguishing the different genotype sectors by the color difference of pigment mutants, releasing monospores based on the asexual reproduction of single-genotype sectors, forming offspring CMD population; performing QTL-seq analysis on the extreme phenotype pools of offspring CMD population by SNP/InDel markers; and combining KASP and RNA-seq to predict the location of the genes of discrete traits or major QTL. The disclosure may solve the problem of difficulty in genetic analysis of various traits caused by the genotypic chimeric haploid characteristics.
