Induction of Reproduction in KAPPAPHYCUS ALVAREZII by Environmental Manipulation
Funding Agency: Sea6 Energy Private Limited
Project Leader: Michael Y. Roleda, Dr.rer.nat.
Project Duration: January 05, 2023 to January 15, 2024
The general objective of the project is to induce reproduction in commercially cultivated haplotypes of Kappahycus alvarezii. The specific goals are:
To establish the ploidy and life stage (tetrasporophyte or gametophyte) of commercially cultivated K. alvarezii and K. striatus germplasm maintained at the UP-Marine Science Institute seaweed culture laboratory and gene bank.
To induce sexual and asexual reproduction using light, temperature, and nutrient manipulations.
