Together with Polaralge, Kelpinor, Pia Dittmer & Berat Tolga Koc, we characterized >90 Saccharina latissima farmed individuals for RNAseq, metagenomics, and biofouling.
Next step: estimate heritability of fouling traits
Thanks to all involved!
Great to share KELPRIME results at EMBS in Bodø!
Leo Minini presented his MSc work on growth and heat tolerance in Saccharina latissima.
I showed how thermal priming of gametophytes boosts kelp growth and heat resilience in young sporophytes.
Thanks to the EMBS organizers.

Boosting thermal tolerance could help cold-water kelps persist in areas that are getting warmer.
The challenge is how to reach a higher tolerance but it shows that it is worth the effort. Climate change mitigation is key
