“…Marine algae or seaweeds are classified into three taxonomic groups that have diverse pigment composition: Rhodophyta (red algae), Chlorophyta (green algae), and Ochrophyta (brown algae). The Indian Ocean is host to 865 species of seaweed belonging to 216 genera and 68 families [9]. Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are the largest prevalent type of seaweed that are habitat to water of temperate region where more than 2000 species are found.…”

“…Various species of marine algae found in nature contain organic compounds which activities resemble the activity of cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins. The organic compounds were able to stimulate growth as a result of enhancement of protein synthesis, cell division, and mobilization of nutrients needed to boost growth of rice crop [9].…”

Enhancing productivity through integrated and comprehensive nutrient management is pertinent to sustainable intensification of agricultural ecosystems. The utilization of marine bioactive stimulants has been gaining momentum and impetus in crop agricultural farming system due to their phytoelicitor activity. Liquids biostimulants derived from seaweed evoke defense responses in plants that contribute to resistance to abiotic stresses and challenges like high temperature, salinity, moisture stress, and cold. Seaweed extracts are immensely organic and suitable for growing crops that are both organic and environmentally friendly. Seaweeds provide an abundant source of natural growth substances that can be employed to enhance plant growth. Seaweeds are one of the most significant marine resources of the world, and derived compounds have been extensively used as amendments in crop production systems due to the presence of macronutrients such as Ca, K, and P and micronutrients like Fe, Cu, Zn, B, Mn, Co, and Mo, presence of several plant growth stimulating compounds including cytokinin, auxins, gibberellins, and betaines which are essential for plant growth and development. The purpose of the current chapter is to explore the functional and growth characteristics induced by seaweed extracts in addition to their modes and mechanisms of action in rice crops, which are responsible for elicitor and phytostimulatory activities and boost in grain production and nutrient usage efficiency.

“…It is cost-efficient, easy to use, and has interoperable tools to digitize seaweed collections located in the institutions across India. Nevertheless, in a recent initiative from Central University of Punjab, Bathinda "DbIndAlgae", a freely accessible on-line database of marine algae of India has been developed [62]. This represents the first initiative of digitizing marine algae database for identification and cataloguing aimed at easy access and effective dissemination.…”

Seaweed Biodiversity of India: Reviewing Current Knowledge to Identify Gaps, Challenges, and Opportunities

Seaweeds are a renewable marine resources and have not yet received considerable attention in the field of taxonomy in India as compared to their terrestrial counterparts, essentially due to the lack of awareness of their economic potential. Although the recent inventory from the Indian region documented the presence of approximately 865 seaweed taxa, of which only a few are taxonomically well characterized, more precise information still awaits with respect to microscopic and molecular examinations of many. Thus far, in terms of spatial extent, probably only a few of the total hospitable seaweed habitats have been explored, and large portions, including island territories and subtidal waters, remain virtually untouched. Surveying those may lead to the reporting of several taxa new to science. Furthermore, more focused efforts are required to understand the endemic and endangered taxa which have high conservation implications. Considering the unprecedented pressures seaweeds are facing, including coastal pollution and human-induced global warming, it is critical to reinforce our knowledge of seaweed biodiversity. In the present communication, we intended to address the status of seaweed biodiversity in India along with the gaps, challenges, and opportunities.
