“…leucosticta (see below, cox1 data). Pyropia thulaea was not found among the specimens studied here (which were collected between 1999 and 2007) but Brodie et al (2008) have already verified its presence in Iceland with molecular data, based on an earlier collection. Boreophyllum birdiae and Pyropia njordii sp.…”

“…Before molecular methods were available, identifications were based primarily on reproductive, morphological and ecological characteristics, and the highly variable morphology made species identification and delimitation notoriously difficult. Now molecular markers can verify species identity and research is global in approach (Brodie et al, 2008;Sutherland et al, 2011). The geographical distributions of species can now be determined more accurately, and introduced species can be identified with more certainty (Neefus et al, 2008).…”

“…Recent work on foliose Bangiales floras has identified certain areas of the world that require further attention to understand species diversity and distribution. The northern N Atlantic, including Iceland and Greenland, is one of these regions (Brodie & Nielsen, 2005;Brodie et al, 2008).…”

“…One of these was later found to be conspecific with Boreophyllum birdiae (as Porphyra birdiae), described from Nova Scotia, Canada and also reported from Norway (Neefus et al, 2002;Brodie & Nielsen, 2005). The most recent findings have added Pyropia elongata (as Porphyra rosengurttii: Brodie et al, 2008;Neefus & Brodie, 2009). Given that Boreophyllum birdiae has not been reported further south than the Faroe Islands in the north-east N Atlantic (J. Brodie, personal observations), this species, along with Wildemania amplissima and W. miniata (both formerly classified in Porphyra), can be regarded as northern elements of the N Atlantic flora.…”

“…The aim of this paper is to identify species of Bangiales from Iceland and the Faroe Islands and determine their generic relationships using molecular sequence data. Apart from a few foliose Bangiales specimens for which molecular sequence data are available (Brodie & Nielsen, 2005;Brodie et al, 2008), species identifications from the Faroe Islands and Iceland have previously been based primarily on morphology. Here we base identifications primarily on rbcL sequences, supplemented by a more limited cox1 sequence dataset.…”

Foliose species of the Bangiales (Porphyra sensu lato) have a long history of study in the N Atlantic, but there are still regions, especially in the northern parts of the N Atlantic that need more attention. A molecular study using rbcL and cox1 sequences was undertaken to assess the diversity of foliose Bangiales species in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Herbarium collections from the intertidal and subtidal of Iceland (summer and winter) and the Faroe Islands (all seasons) revealed a total of 13 species (11 common to both areas), which were referred to four of the genera recognized in a recent two-gene global phylogeny. Boreophyllum birdiae, Porphyra dioica, P. linearis, P. purpurea, P. umbilicalis, Pyropia 'leucosticta' A, Pyropia njordii Mols-Mortensen, J. Brodie & Neefus, sp. nov., Wildemania amplissima and W. miniata were common to both areas, while Pyropia thulaea and Wildemania abyssicola (Kjellman) A. Mols-Mortensen & J. Brodie, comb. nov. (¼Porphyra abyssicola Kjellman) were reported from Iceland but not from the Faroe Islands; Porphyra sp. FO and Pyropia elongata were reported from the Faroe Islands but not from Iceland. Boreophyllum birdiae is reported for the first time for Iceland and Porphyra sp. FO is reported for the first time for the Faroe Islands. Pyropia njordii is described from the Faroe Islands and is also recorded for Iceland, Greenland, New England, USA and Nova Scotia, Canada. A total of 25 foliose Bangiales species are now reported from the N Atlantic and these results demonstrate the importance of investigating as many areas as possible to reach a more complete understanding of species diversity and distribution.

A pilot study of genetic structure of Porphyra umbilicalis Kützing in the Gulf of Maine using SNP markers from RNA-Seq

The red alga Porphyra umbilicalis Kützing has a broad distribution within the North Atlantic. In the Northeast Atlantic, P. umbilicalis is dioecious and reproduces both sexually and asexually, while in the Northwest Atlantic, only asexual reproduction has been observed. In this study, transcriptomes were mined to identify putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers. A computational pipeline was developed that accounts for the specific characteristics of transcriptome dataset, filtered against the available red alga Chondrus genome and P. umbilicalis EST library to eliminate microbial contamination. Five hundred fortynine putative SNPs were detected within a single population (Schoodic Point, ME, USA). Five of the validated SNP markers were applied in a pilot study of genetic diversity and population structure of seven P. umbilicalis populations within the Gulf of Maine. Results of this study revealed the genetic diversity and structure of P. umbilicalis populations in the Gulf of Maine. Novel genotypes were found in the open coastal populations at Reid State Park, Schoodic Point, and the estuarine tidal rapid population at Wiscasset. Our study represents the first attempt to develop suitable bioinformatic pipeline for RNA-seq to detect SNP markers for red alga Porphyra umbilicalis and successfully used these SNP markers for population study.
