Ectocarpus
''Ectocarpus'' is a genus of filamentous brown alga that includes a model organism for the genomics of multicellularity. Among possible model organisms in the brown algae, ''Ectocarpus'' was selected for the relatively small size of its mature thallus and the speed with which it completes its life cycle. Tools available for ''Ectocarpus'' as a model species include a high quality genome sequence and both forward and reverse genetic methodologies, the latter based on CRISPR-Cas9. Taxonomy and Nomenclature Brown algae are heterokonts, a group that also includes diatoms and oomycetes. Despite their simple filamentous thalli, the Ectocarpales are part of the crown group of brown algal orders and are a sister group to the order Laminariales (kelps). The type species for the genus is '' Ectocarpus siliculosus'' ( Dillwyn) Lyngbye. In 1809, Dillwyn described ''Ectocarpus'' as ''Conferva siliculosa'' based on specimens collected by W.J. Hooker from Norfolk and East Sussex. In 1819, Ly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
