Massive Ulva Green Tides Caused by Inhibition of Biomass Allocation to Sporulation

Masanori Hiraoka

Summary: The green seaweed Ulva spp. play a crucial role as primary producers in marine coastal ecosystems. Some populations decline in response to ocean warming, while others cause massive blooms known as green tide, depending on the fate of cells between somatic cell division and sporic cell division. Research suggests that inhibiting biomass allocation to spore production is a key property for Ulva to cause a huge green tide.
