Some diatoms of the genera Pseudo-nitzschia and Nitzschia produce the neurotoxin domoic
acid (DA), a compound that caused amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) in humans just over …

Here, we review information on how plants face redox imbalance caused by climate change,
and focus on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in this response. Life on Earth is possible thanks to …

Over the past twenty years, nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important player in various
plant physiological processes. Although many advances in the understanding of NO …

Over the last decade, genome sequences and other-omics datasets have been produced for
a wide range of microalgae, and several others are on the way. Marine microalgae possess …

Microalgae play a major role as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Cell signalling
regulates their interactions with the environment and other organisms, yet this process in …

Reef-building corals depend on symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellates in
the genus Symbiodinium. This large microalgal group comprises many highly divergent …

Climate change is predicted to increase the severity and prevalence of harmful algal blooms
(HABs). In the past twenty years, omics techniques such as genomics, transcriptomics …

Diatoms and copepods are main actors in marine food webs. The prey–predator interactions
between them affect bloom dynamics, shape marine ecosystems and impact the energy …

Diatoms are fast-growing and winning competitors in aquatic environments, possibly due to
optimized growth performance. However, their life cycles are complex, heteromorphic, and …

The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications) is to provide a
comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications. The …
