海藻种质库研究团队长期致力于裙带菜基础和应用研究，取得系列重要进展，包括：

    （1）培育了我国目前仅有的两个裙带菜国家新品种“海宝1、2号”；

    （2）利用SNP标记技术构建了首张高密度遗传连锁图谱[1]；

    （3）完成了全长转录组测序，结合二代测序技术分析了孢子叶发育过程中基因表达规律[2]；

    （4）完成了入侵德国北部的裙带菜群体的溯源[3]；

    （5）利用PacBio三代测序平台和Hi-C技术，在国际上首次完成了全基因组在染色体水平组装和注释[4]；

    （6）国际上首次发现雌雄同体配子体的存在[5]；

    （7）成功建立了单性游孢子杂交技术[6]。

  裙带菜原产于西北太平洋沿海，是中日韩三国重要经济褐藻。近年来，裙带菜作为一种重要的入侵性海藻引起西方学者的广泛关注。上述研究成果为裙带菜遗传育种和入侵机制的研究奠定了基础。

    Reproduction biology and farming research of Undaria pinnatifida

    The research team of the Marine Algal Culture Collection Centre has devoted long-term efforts to fundamental and applied research of Undaria pinnatifida. The team has made a series of important progresses in the last decade, including: 

    (1) has bred the only two elite national varieties “Haibao No 1 and 2” certificated by the Ministry of Agriculture; 

    (2) has constructed the first high-density genetic linkage map based on SNP markers[1];

    (3) has sequenced the full-length transcriptome and analyzing the transcriptomic changes during the development of the sporophyll[2];

    (4) has tracked the source of the newly invaded populations in the north sea of Germany[3]; 

    (5)has obtained for the first time the whole genome sequence and finished the chromosome-level assembly and annotation[4]；

    (6) has observed and reported the zoospore-derived hermaphroditic gametophyte for the first time[5];

    (7) has established male and female zoospore hybrid breeding technology[6].

    As an important economic kelp species native to the Northwest Pacific, U.pinnatifida has been farmed for a long history in China, Japan and Korea. It has drawn increasing concern due to its worldwide spread as an alien species in recent years. The above-mentioned achievements have laid foundations for future investigations on the genetic breeding and the invasion mechanisms of this important seaweed.
