“…The plastid and mitochondrial genomes of red algae were first analyzed in Porphyra purpurea (Roth) C. Agardh, 1824 [144][145][146], with subsequent genomic research conducted using next-generation sequencing technologies [146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154]. Laver is regarded as the model genome for red algae, and detailed analysis has provided data for phylogenetic, taxonomic, and evolutionary studies [146,147,155].…”

“…Phylogenetic analysis can clarify the distinct characteristics of laver compared with other red algae [153]. Complete mitochondrial genome analysis can also allow recognition of unidentified algal species by comparison of gene sequences with those of morphologically similar organisms [148]. Phylogenetic analyses of Pyropia and Porphyra also broaden our understanding of biodiversity within these genera, with Pyropia haitanensis [150] and P. yezoensis [151] providing examples of this.…”

The growing interest in laver as a food product and as a source of substances beneficial to health has led to global consumer demand for laver produced in a limited area of northeastern Asia. Here we review research into the benefits of laver consumption and discuss future perspectives on the improvement of laver product quality. Variation in nutritional/functional values among product types (raw and processed (dried, roasted, or seasoned) laver) makes product-specific nutritional analysis a prerequisite for accurate prediction of health benefits. The effects of drying, roasting, and seasoning on the contents of both beneficial and harmful substances highlight the importance of managing laver processing conditions. Most research into health benefits has focused on substances present at high concentrations in laver (porphyran, Vitamin B 12 , taurine), with assessment of the expected effects of laver consumption. Mitigation of chemical/microbiological risks and the adoption of novel technologies to exploit under-reported biochemical characteristics of lavers are suggested as key strategies for the further improvement of laver product quality. Comprehensive analysis of the literature regarding laver as a food product and as a source of biomedical compounds highlights the possibilities and challenges for application of laver products.

“…Interestingly, while in the mt genomes of the genus Pyropia sequenced so far the COI gene (Harden et al. 2015 ) is interrupted by two group II introns, both in Paralemanea sp. and in the unrelated species Grateulopia taiwanensis (Depriest et al.…”

Only two mitochondrial (mt) genomes had been reported in members of the red algal order Batrachospermales, which are confined to freshwater habitats. Additional mt genomes of six representative members (Batrachospermum macrosporum, Kumanoa ambigua, K. mahlacensis, Paralemanea sp., Sheathia arcuata, and Sirodotia delicatula) were sequenced aiming to gain insights on the evolution of their mt genomes from a comparative analysis with other red algal groups. Mt genomes sequenced had the following characteristics: lengths ranging between 24,864 nt and 29,785 nt, 22 to 26 proteincoding genes, G þ C contents of 21.3 to 30.7%, number of tRNA of 16 to 37, non-coding DNA from 3.8% to 14.8%. Comparative analysis revealed that mt genomes in Batrachospermales are highly conserved in terms of genome size and gene content and synteny. Phylogenetic analyses based on COI nucleotide data revealed high bootstrap support only for the genera usually recovered in the phylogenetic analyses but no support for supra-generic groups. The insertion of a group II intron carrying an ORF coding for the corresponding intron maturase interrupting the COI gene was observed in Paralamenea sp. and accounted for its larger genome in comparison to the other Batrachospermales mt genomes.

“…For example, approximately 46% of the foliose specimens (58 out of 126) used in the two gene phylogeny study of Sutherland et al (2011) were undescribed or with uncertain species identification. Therefore, following extensive studies have focused on the discovery of cryptic new species and correctly identifying local specimens with the application of molecular techniques (e.g., Mateo-Cid et al 2012, Mols-Mortensen et al 2012, Nelson 2013, Nelson and D'Archino 2014, Ramírez et al 2014, Sánchez et al 2014, Harden et al 2015, Lindstrom et al 2015a, 2015b. As a result, 18 species of Pyropia have been newly described among the currently accepted 70 species (excluding 4 infraspecific) names after revision by Sutherland et al (2011) (see Guiry and Guiry 2017).…”

Biogeographic pattern of four endemic Pyropia from the east coast of Korea, including a new species, Pyropia retorta (Bangiaceae, Rhodophyta)

Foliose species of the Bangiaceae (Porphyra s. l.) are very important in Korean fisheries, and their taxonomy and ecophysiology have received much attention because of the potential for developing or improving aquaculture techniques. Although 20 species of foliose Bangiales have been listed from the Korean coast, some of them remain uncertain and need further comparative morphological studies with molecular comparison. In this study, we confirm the distribution of four Pyropia species from the east coast of Korea, Pyropia kinositae, P. moriensis, P. onoi, and P. retorta sp. nov., based on morphology and rbcL sequence data. Although P. onoi was listed in North Korea in old floral works, its occurrence on the east coast of South Korea is first revealed in this study based on molecular data. P. kinositae and P. moriensis, which were originally described from Hokkaido, Japan, are first reported on the east coast of Korea in this study. Pyropia retorta sp. nov. and P. yezonesis share a similar thallus color and narrow spermatangial patches in the upper portion of the frond, and they have a sympatric distribution. However, P. retorta can be distinguished by the curled or twisted thalli and by molecular data. The biogeographic pattern of the two native species, P. kinositae and P. retorta, suggests that the east coast of Korea may have been a place of refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and then recolonized to the northern part of Japan through the restored East Korean Warm Current after the LGM.
