Abstract

The study’s key discoveries include the identification of genetic traits that contribute to the heat resilience of kelp through intraspecific outbreeding, and the potential of hybridization to improve kelp traits such as growth and reproductive success under varying environmental conditions. Additionally, advancements in genetic engineering and synthetic biology have shown promise in optimizing microalgae for biotechnological applications, including enhanced biorefinery capabilities. The study also highlights the importance of maintaining genetic diversity and implementing strategic breeding programs to address challenges in kelp cultivation. The findings underscore the potential of genetic improvement and hybridization in developing robust kelp and microalgae cultivars. These strategies can significantly contribute to sustainable mariculture and biotechnological applications, ensuring high productivity and adaptability to changing environmental conditions.
