Heat-resistant kelp cultivars for warmer seas: A novel triploid breeding method

Wait 5 sec.

Kelp species such as Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida serve as critical global economic resources. However, global warming, marked by rising seawater temperatures, is severely impacting kelp cultivation. This reality has made the development of new, heat-resistant kelp cultivars with broader adaptability an urgent priority to mitigate climate-related threats.
