In the last decade, four new species of Kyrtuthrix have been described. Their sequences helped to establish Kyrtuthrix as belonging to the family Rivulariaceae.

Our analyses revealed that both taxa were related to the newly described Kyrtuthrix species, although they were not clearly separated by molecular character sets from the more recently described Nunduva. A third Kyrtuthrix species from the coast of France was characterized by us during this study but was intermediate in morphological structure and phylogeny between K. dalmatica and K. maculans and not given a specific epithet.

Therefore, enhancing the heat tolerance of G. lemaneiformis is crucial for prolonging its growth period along with increasing production and economic performance. Proline, a key osmotic regulator, plays an essential role in stress responses, including drought, heat, cold, and high salinity. Here, we investigated the dynamic changes in proline accumulation and its metabolic enzymes response to high-temperature stress in G. lemaneiformis. Results showed that elevated temperatures significantly increased proline accumulation, stimulated the activities of its synthetases pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), while concurrently suppressed the activity of its degrading enzyme proline dehydrogenase (ProDH). Pearson correlation analysis displayed a stronger positive association between proline level and OAT activity than with P5CS or pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (P5CR) activity, as well as a negative correlation with ProDH activity. Furthermore, exogenous 24-epibrassinolide, trehalose, and ornithine increased OAT activity or its gene transcription, while salicylic acid induced P5CS activity and P5CR2 transcriptional levels, which all resulted in the enhanced proline accumulation. Finally, bioinformatics analysis revealed that GlOAT contains a predicted PLP-binding domain, exhibits a high likelihood of mitochondrial localization, and shows a high degree of phylogenetic conservation. In summary, this study demonstrated that OAT is the critical enzyme involved in proline synthesis under high-temperature stress, which might provide a foundation for future transgenic breeding to improve high-temperature tolerance in G. lemaneiformis.</p>","PeriodicalId":16831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phycology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144690508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera is sensitive to increasing seawater temperatures and susceptible to marine heatwaves. Light availability and hydrodynamics can also affect the growth, morphology, and resilience of this species. In this experiment, juvenile sporophytes of M. pyrifera from Scorching Bay, Wellington, Aotearoa, New Zealand, a were exposed to a combination of simulated marine heatwaves at one of four different temperatures (20, 22, and 24°C compared to a 16°C control), one of two irradiance levels (shaded: 0.9 mol photons · m<sup>-2</sup> · d<sup>-1</sup> or ambient: 1.4 mol photons · m<sup>-2</sup> · d<sup>-1</sup>), and one of two flow speeds (5.3 cm · s<sup>-1</sup> or 6.1 cm · s<sup>-1</sup>) in a fully factorial design. Simulated heatwaves lasted for 21 days, with temperatures ramped by 2°C · d<sup>-1</sup>, followed by a 21-day recovery phase. The heatwave treatments represented severe heatwaves in present day or hypothetical future conditions, whereas the control represented historical average summer sea temperatures in Wellington, and 21 days represented a realistic duration for heatwaves in this region. Temperature was the main driver of negative physiological impacts, with 100% of sporophytes dying within 42 days of exposure to a 24°C heatwave. Sporophytes experienced 44% mortality at 20°C and 81% mortality at 22°C, and growth rates declined significantly with increasing temperature. However, survival rates were modified by light and water velocity, with 56% of sporophytes surviving under a combination of ambient light and fast water velocity, compared with less than 50% under each of the other light-velocity combinations. Light limitation also reduced sporophyte survival, growth rates, and effective quantum yield. Water velocity alone did not significantly affect sporophytes, but flow speeds had interactive effects with temperature and light. The findings of this experiment suggest that M. pyrifera at sites with optimal environmental conditions, including low sediment loads and fast tidal flows, could be more resilient to marine heatwaves, as long as temperatures do not exceed critical thresholds for survival.</p>","PeriodicalId":16831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phycology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144659407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some pennate diatoms can exhibit a process termed karyostrophy, the contraction of the chloroplasts toward the cell center when exposed to high light. Karyostrophy has long been hypothesized to play a photoprotective role; however, its light dependency and physiological effects remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the light-dependent kinetics and photophysiological effects of karyostrophy in the diatom Pleurosigma strigosum. Chloroplast contraction was found to be light-dependent, being induced under irradiances above 60 μmol photons · m<sup>-2</sup> · s<sup>-1</sup>, with the rate and extent of contraction increasing with light intensity. The process was reversible, with chloroplasts returning to their original conformation under low light, although at a slower rate. Cell-level photophysiological measurements indicated that karyostrophy enhanced self-shading in proximal cell regions, improving the capacity of the cells to recover from light stress. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) was also affected by chloroplast contraction, with distal regions of the cell exhibiting significantly higher NPQ activation. These findings suggest that karyostrophy might serve as a complementary photoprotective mechanism, acting alongside whole-cell motility and NPQ.

Early developmental stages require close control and careful signaling between cells and genetic networks. Red algae also undergo critical developmental stages, but very little is known about these processes or their control. An important developmental signal is the redox state of a cell. The complex life cycle of red algae also involves the intricate development of the fertilized egg to produce diploid spores (carpospores). We examined the effect of redox perturbation on the life cycle of Bostrychia moritziana, focusing on critical stages of spore development, the formation of meiospores (tetraspores), and the development of the diploid carposporophytes. Our results showed that spore development follows a distinct pattern of asymmetrical division and differentiation, regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling. Reactive oxygen species were observed to accumulate specifically at the dividing plane of the central cell, suggesting their importance in cell division. Treatments with various redox-altering compounds, including hydrogen peroxide, antioxidants, and inhibitors of NADPH oxidase and calcium signaling, significantly impacted spore development, carposporophyte formation, and the development of tetrasporangial branches. Our results demonstrated that short-term redox perturbations during critical developmental stages can have far-reaching consequences on the morphogenesis of B. moritziana, affecting both immediate growth patterns and long-term developmental trajectories.</p>","PeriodicalId":16831,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phycology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
