An Intracellular Transcriptomic Atlas of the Giant Coenocyte Caulerpa taxifolia
Convergent morphologies have arisen in plants multiple times. In non-vascular and vascular land plants, convergent morphology in the form of roots, stems, and leaves arose. The morphology of some green algae includes an anchoring holdfast, stipe, and leaf-like fronds. Such morphology occurs in the absence of multicellularity in the siphonous algae, which are single cells. Morphogenesis is separ...
متن کاملAlien Invasion: the spread of Caulerpa taxifolia in Australian waters
Alien Invasion: the spread of Caulerpa taxifolia in Australian waters The eradication or control of introduced marine pests will represent one of the greatest challenges of this century. Indeed, hundreds of introduced marine species are already present in Australian waters. Marine pests pose such a challenge because by the time they are discovered they are usually well established and almost im...
متن کاملIs the vegetative development of the invasive chlorophycean, Caulerpa taxifolia, favored in sediments with a high content of organic matter?
We performed an in situ experiment raising the concentration of organic matter in sediment relative to the natural concentration, and quantified biomass development of the invasive alga, Caulerpa taxifolia, and native C. prolifera. Our objective was to determine whether vegetative development of C. taxifolia is favored in sediments with a high content of organic matter. The number of stolon api...
متن کاملStimulation of nitrogen fixation in refractory organic sediments by Caulerpa taxifolia (Chlorophyta)
Estimates of N2 fixation by substrata associated with the rhizophytic alga Caulerpa taxifolia were obtained using the acetylene reduction method. On average, growth of C. taxifolia enhanced rates of acetylene reduction in underlying dead sea grass sediments by a factor of 28, although the degree of enhancement was variable. The average rate of ethylene production was 3.96 nmol cm23 h21 (range 5...
متن کاملAn algorithmic model for invasive species: Application to Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh development in the North-Western Mediterranean Sea
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the propagation of the green alga of tropical origin Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh in the north-western Mediterranean sea—introduced in 1984—by means of an algorithmic computer model. In order to take into account spatial interactions and anthropic dispersion or activities such as eradication and introduction of specific predators, the model is base...
