Abstract

A brown algae genome The genome of Ectocarpus, a model organism for brown algae, has been sequenced. Brown algae are complex photosynthetic organisms that have adapted to life in rocky coastal environments. Genome analysis sheds light on this adaptation and reveals an extended set of light-harvesting and pigment biosynthesis genes and novel metabolic processes such as halide metabolism. Comparative genomic analyses highlight the likely importance of a family of receptor kinases and related molecules in the evolution of multicellularity in plants, animals and brown algae.
